Hello, I am using a CNet ProG-2000s NIC and a 2.4.37.7 kernel. I apologize if this is not the right place to post this, but it seems to be related to the kernel - and I had nowhere else to turn to. Everything works fine as long as I don't insmod r8169, and when I do it will work for a minute or so. Then I will no longer be able to ping that card. After another couple of minute, the server will stop responding entirely. I have no idea what happens, everything just freezes up. The only abnormal thing I can see is that /proc/interrupts will always say that I have 0 NMI's until the card goes down, then it always increases to 1. Sometimes I can get it back by doing the following: ifconfig eth1 down rmmod 8169 insmod 8169 ifconfig eth1 up But even then it only works for maybe 10-20 seconds. My system is based on BasicLinux, but I have compiled the kernel myself. The .config file can be found at http://pastebin.com/f5c5d73d. Any help would be appreciated. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
