I was unsure about the maintainer of the via-rhine
driver so I'm mailing the bug report to the kernel
list. Please cc to ivangurdiev@yahoo.com.
Problem:
My ethernet card
/proc/pci:
Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.
VT86C100A [Rhine 10/100] (rev 6).
IRQ 11.
is stalling during a large scp transfer.
The card freezes for a long time, before continuing
the transfer. I receive transmit timeout messages
and "something wicked happened".
Connection is negotiated to 100BaseTx-FD.
System Information:
AMD Athlon XP 1600+, Matsonic MS8127C+ board,
VIA Apollo Kt133A/VT82C686B,
Ethernet Controller - listed above,
Kernel 2.4.19-pre3, using the via-rhine driver.
System on the opposite end:
Sony Vaio Laptop - Pentium III Coppermine,
ethernet card: Netgear FA410TX Pcmcia
Kernel: 2.4.19-pre3 using pcnet_cs driver
Appended are sections of the log of an scp transfer
using via-rhine debug lvl 7 - /var/log/messages.
