Re: [Fwd: Ethernet problem in 2895 kernel]

I have tried two or three different manufacturers' cards for eth0 with the same result.

I do not recall ever seeing this failure with 2869 and older kernels. This bug has been present for the last three months. I wonder if it has propagated to the commercial Linix products. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Ethernet problem in 2895 kernel From: Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX N2469R <caf(a)omen.com&gt; Date: Thu, 01 Feb 2007 10:11:21 -0800 To: Fedora-Test-List <fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com&gt; To: Fedora-Test-List <fedora-test-list(a)redhat.com&gt; Since updating to the FC6 386 2895 kernel I have has a number of partial failures of the Ethernet system under heavy load. System: Asus a8n-e socket 939 with 3 GB RAM running 386 FC6. Eth0 is a PCI 10/100 NIC, eth1 is the onboard gigabit NIC. NAT controlled by rc.firewall 2.4. Eth0 connects to the cable modem, eth1 to the local net. Under heavy load, the following error messages appear and then eth0 stops working, severing the internet connection. I have not seen this problem prior to the 2895 kernel.
