Via-rhine problems (2.4.19-pre8)

[Rui Sousa]

Hi,

I'm having some problems with my via-rhine ethernet card.
I have a crossed cable running from the card to an ADSL modem.
Regularly (at least once every two days) I have connections problems 
and I'm unable to even ping the ADSL modem. On /var/log/messages I see the 
message:

kernel: eth0: reset did not complete in 10 ms.
kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
kernel: eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY status 782d, 
resetting...

Removing the ethernet cable, unloading/loading the module doesn't change a
thing, only a cold reboot fixes the problem (until next time).

Is this a known problem? Any fixes?

The card is a D-Link DFE-530TX.

Thanks for any help,
