my system freezes on heavy traffic over a 3c59x.ko driver. This happens with kernels 2.6.0 upto 2.6.1-mm5.
I have an Asus A7N8X-deluxe motherboard with the 3C920-EMB chip activ.
The system freezes after 4-6 secs or ~60MB transfered over nfs or scp
regardless of acpi or preemtive, all tested...
My older 2.4.21-155 (from SuSE 9.0) loads the 3x59x.o but the syslog reports a 3c905C Tornado at ...
Windows on the same machine finds a 3c920-EMB too.
I had debug activated for the 3c59x. Level 1-4 freezes again, Level 5 and up gives a lot of info in the syslog and the kernel does not freeze!
Transfers are ok with debug level 5 and 6....
Im not shure if this is a driver bug or a general interrupt problem.
Unfortuanally i have no driver found for the second (nVidia) chip of the Asusboard - so i cannot test an other driver...
Regard, Axel
