Ethernet lockup with 2.4.21
Hi,
When my Ultra 5 is receiving files (ftp/ssh etc..) at large speeds
(800kB/s), the network interface can randomly lock up.
I can either wait a minute to let it reset itself, or ifdown/ifup eth0
manually. If I let it wait, this is in the syslog:
Jul 6 17:03:18 cruithne kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
Jul 6 17:03:18 cruithne kernel: eth0: transmit timed out, resetting
Jul 6 17:03:18 cruithne kernel: eth0: Happy Status 00000000
TX[000003ff:00000101]
Jul 6 17:04:57 cruithne kernel: eth0: Link is up using internal transceiver at
10Mb/s, Half Duplex.
>From dmesg:
eth0: HAPPY MEAL (PCI/CheerIO) 10/100BaseT Ethernet 08:00:20:99:da:43
eth0: Link is up using internal transceiver at 10Mb/s, Half Duplex.
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
I run the 2.4.21 kernel from the kernel-image-2.4.21-sparc64 package on
Debian unstable.
/sbin/ifconfig on the Ultra:

/sbin/ifconfig on the Intel gateway server that is masquerading to the Ultra:

Nothing to see in the Intel logs.
Can I have misconfigured some network setting?
Anyone who can give a hint?
Thanks :)

Pieter-Paul
