Several hours after booting my computer the kernel report: Sep 8 12:21:47 localhost kernel: eth0: reset did not complete in 10 ms. Sep 8 12:28:11 localhost kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out Sep 8 12:28:11 localhost kernel: eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY status 782d, resetting... Sep 8 12:28:11 localhost kernel: eth0: reset did not complete in 10 ms. And my network goes down. I try '/etc/init.d/networking restart' and the script fails to bring up eth0. My eth controller is still in /proc/pci but it disappear from ifconfig. My controller is a D-Link DFE-530TX, and I just want to know if anybody already had this kind of problem with this device. Is it a problem related to a controller malfunction or to a bug in the system (driver, ...) ? My network work very well with a Realteck 8029 on exactely the same system with the same config. Thanks.
