Hi! Linux 2.4.18 with ne2000 compatible ISA nic. If I connect the 10 baseT cable to the nic and boot the kernel, everything is ok and fast. But if the network cable is unplugged, the booting and the connections from clients are slow. When the network cable is disconnected, I see repeated special messages when booting: kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out I don't intend to always connect this box to network hub. How do I speed things up (by forcing NETDEV WATHDOG stop probing?)? Thank you in advance!
