Hi Ben,
I have a customer who has experienced issues with Debian Wheezy (Kernel
3.2.51) and the 8139cp driver:
Upgrading to wheezy was even more disastrous with the kernel reporting
"8139cp 0000:00:0a.0: eth0: Transmit timeout". Once the ethernet
adaptor timed out only a reboot would fix it.
I sent him a module with a patch from the following commit applied:
commit 01ffc0a7f1c1801a2354719dedbc32aff45b987d

8139cp: re-enable interrupts after tx timeout
Recovery doesn't work too well if we leave interrupts disabled...

The customer has now confirmed that his problem has been fixed.
Can we please have this commit brought across to 3.2.y?
Regards,
Nathan
