I compiled as a UP kernel but it wasn't the cause. Also, I patched the above fix on 2.4.27-rc4 and compiled as a UP kernel, but didn't work.
Now I would like to mail to Marcelo Tosatti, too.
Current Status: * The driver is tg3.o * The problem began with 2.4.27-rc4. * DHCP fails. * Static IP assignment shows no error, but network is still unreachable. ('ifconfig' and 'route add default gw' by hand) * DHCP packets are unreachable to DHCP server. (I don't know which options are used for tcpdump. I hear that 2.4.26 worked but 2.4.27 didn't. PXE's DHCP works. ) * 'arp' at DHCP server shows a line with <incomplete> status. * Compiling as a UP kernel didn't solve the problem. (The box is Xeon 3.2 GHz / 1 CPU with hyper-threading) * Compiling as a UP kernel with the above fix didn't solve. * The error message "HW autoneg failed" appears. (But (I think) this message doesn't exist in tg3.c for 2.4.26, so I don't know autoneg were successful or not in 2.4.26, if helpful I will insert printk() and try. The link ups (if 2.4.26) 1000Mbps full duplex, off for TX and off for RX.)
