Hello, I recently replaced my old SB16 with a Sound Blaster Live, which caused quite some reassignments of IRQ's etc. I have two network cards in the machine, one that "ne2k-diag" claims is an RTL8019AS (bought as an ne2000 compatible, and served faithfully until now). (The other is an rtl8139, and I use the 8139too driver.) I've now shifted the ne to IRQ 5, it's base is still 0x300 - it seems to work fine, but if I try to use it, I get e.g. the following: hugo@baboon[4]:~/znobackup$ ssh chimp NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out ... Should I simply go on and try different IRQ's? (IRQ 7 is for parallel port, right? So that won't work?) Or how else can I diagnose this problem? Oh, another thing, my rtl8139 causes the following when the network is heavily congested: Aug 8 22:22:52 baboon kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out Aug 8 22:22:52 baboon kernel: eth0: Tx queue start entry 407299 dirty entry 407295. Aug 8 22:22:52 baboon kernel: eth0: Tx descriptor 0 is 00002000. Aug 8 22:22:52 baboon kernel: eth0: Tx descriptor 1 is 00002000. Aug 8 22:22:52 baboon kernel: eth0: Tx descriptor 2 is 00002000. Aug 8 22:22:52 baboon kernel: eth0: Tx descriptor 3 is 00002000. (queue head) Aug 8 22:22:52 baboon kernel: eth0: Setting half-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 0000. Any ideas?
