00:05.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21140 [FasterNet] (rev 22)
Subsystem: D-Link System Inc DFE-500TX Fast Ethernet
Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 25
I/O ports at 8800 [size=128]
Memory at 000000000a104000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128]
Expansion ROM at 000000000a080000 [disabled] [size=256K]
What do you have in your machine?
BTW: As you seem to have a SX164, too: Do you experience `autistic'
behaviour (ie, noreaction to kbd, net, whatever, but still working
because I see -- after reboot -- marks in the syslog file) when the
SX164 is connected to a 100Mb port? As soon as we plug our SX164 into a
100Mb port and there is heavy networking load, the machine suddenly
becomes autistic as described.
Best wishes
