Hello fellows!
[1.] One line summary of the problem:
Using a rtl-8029 and a via-rhine II (VT6102) with ne2k-pci and via-rhine
modules compiled-in causes rtl-8029 to stop working.
[2.] Full description of the problem/report:
I have a rtl-8029 as an internal NIC, and a via-rhine as the external
link to the internet. Both are PCI. When I use the modules ne2k-pci
(for the rtl-8029) and via-rhine compiled-in the kernel, I have
problems: rtl-8029 stops working as soon as there's traffic in the
via-rhine. Via-rhine doesn't seem to be affected, and keep working as
long as I've tested, but rtl-8029 start giving ping (DUP!) until I kill
the ping. Restarting the ping after killing gives me no error messages,
but also no traffic. See section X for fixing info.
[3.] Keywords (i.e., modules, networking, kernel):
networking, modules, ne2k-pci, via-rhine
[4.] Kernel version (from /proc/version):
spectra@eriador:~% cat /proc/version
Linux version 2.4.23 (root@eriador) (gcc version 3.3.2 (Debian)) #1 Sex
Jan 2 19:26:33 BRST 2004
[5.] Output of Oops.. message (if applicable) with symbolic information
resolved (see Documentation/oops-tracing.txt)
Not applicable
[6.] A small shell script or example program which triggers the
problem (if possible)
Just keep pinging through rtl-8029 and start pinging through via-rhine.
Rtl-8029 is going to start giving DUP! not affecting via-rhine. If you
kill rtl-8029's pings there's no way to restart it. It seems the NIC
stop doing anything with the packets. There's no error messages, just
the ping header and nothing (as if it were loosing the packets, or not
getting the answers).

(please look in /proc and include all information that you

I have a Xinerama system with an nVidia GeForce and a Voodoo3 (just in
case you're wondering why I have two video cards. I emulate SCSI for the
CD-RWs (no real SCSI cards).
[X.] Other notes, patches, fixes, workarounds:
Compiling each one as a module while leaving the other compiled-in gives
me the same behaviour. Compiling both as modules and modprobing them
after reboot FIXES the problem.
