Intel 10/100 Etherexpress Pro



Hi all,

I'm sure most of you are aware of the transmitter bug that was present in
the driver for this device.

I've placed:

options eepro100 multicast_filter_limit=3

into /etc/modules.conf (kernel 2.2.12) and that has stopped the machine
crashing, however my MRTG continously comes up with switches that it can't
reach. (That aren't down).

Could the network card be straining when MRTG runs? nothing else on the
machine seems slow. (If i'm correct, MRTG uses UDP to query the SNMP agents?
Perhaps UDP on the machine is suffering because of the network card?)
