Here in the University other machines with the same NIC, have
the same problems with newer kernels.
I have tried using netperf to see if the NIC stops to send or receive
network traffic, but it worked without problems for 12 hours in each test.
The best I can do to reproduce the problem is: In one I test the
openafs-client the NIC stops after 11 hours, after 6 hours the kernel
gives an error and the NIC resumes.
This are the errors messages:
tg3: tg3_stop_block timed out, ofs=2000 enable_bit=2
tg3: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
tg3: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX.
I need help to find why and when the NIC stops. Netperf generating
traffic in only one direction is not enough for the NIC to stop.
