I triggered problem today with e100 driver. Kernel is 2.4.20 with security patches. There were many lines in kern.log: eth0 e100_wait_exec_cmd: Wait failed. eth1 e100_wait_exec_cmd: Wait failed. There was quite heavy unusual traffic through this box. After removing cause of this traffic and reset all goes normal again. I found this problem reported before: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-27/0564.html But I can't find any reference if this is fixed already in newer (for example 2.4.22) kernels. Is it? regards, -- Hasso Tepper Elion Enterprises Ltd.
