Dear list,
I have installed Debian 3.0 on an UltraSparc II. The sunhme driver is used for the ethernet interface.
I have the following problem : when the network is used, the following error message appears in the kernel logs :
NETDEV WATCHDOG : eth0 : transmit timeout
eth0 : transmit timed out, resetting
eth0 : Happy Status 03030000 TX[000003ff:00000301]
eth0 : link is up using internal transceiver at 100 Mb/s, Full Duplex
However, there is no way to have the card working again. After a ifdown/ifup, the message will appear again
in the log and ifup won't succeed.
the linux version is 2.4.18
the drviver version is : 1.99
I have tried the patch above that was proposed to solve this problem (the patch doesn't apply on 2.4.18 but I have patched
it by hand)
I can provide more information and try other patches if needed,
Thanks in advance for your help,
