Re: eth0: card reports no RX buffers. (eepro100)



Hi Nate!  :)

If it's any help for anyone smarter than I, I've seen this same problem
on a Dell GX100 with on-board EEPRO100 card and the Intel810i chipset
(which I know requires much joy and the agpart module loaded to get X
working) at the office...

A complete hardware restart usually clears it?
