Hello, I have seen this problem with differnet Intel Gige NICs. I am using an Intel E7500 based motherboard with dual gige nics onboard (82544 GC). The 2.4.19 e1000 driver (version 4.3.2) throws the message: Link down, watchdog reset and the system never comes up. Now, I see the same behavior with the Gige NICs 82544 EI and 82546. On using the 2.5.33 kernel against all the 3 NICs mentioned above, I see the following: eth0: NETDEV transmit timed out eth1: NETDEV transmit timed out Is there any fix around this?
