Anyone using an IP1000A on a 10/100/1000 network in Lenny?
Howdy,
I put Lenny on a system recently it seems the ipg.ko module in Lenny and
backport kernels does not work under any kind of high load. :-(
About a minute after rebooting into Lenny's 2.6.26 kernel the interface
just "stopped working". Nothing in logs...but pings failed...and users
were upset. ;-) An ifdown/ifup fixed until the next peak. I could
reproduce the problem by simply copying a file from their NAS. I tried
2.6.30 from backports - same fault.
Anyhoo - for now I have put the system back on the Etch 2.6.18 kernel
and it is running fine again. Its an odd configuration...old stable
kernel but stable applications but it seems to work fine though. :-D
So far I have drawn a blank on Google. The module on the manufacturers
site does not compile on 2.6.26:

Any pointers how to debug or fix this kind of thing? At this stage I
feel have nothing useful for a bug report...also it would be comforting
to know if anyone here has one of these running nicely on a 10/100/1000
network with a post Etch kernel?

PS: I don't know if it is significant but there are 4 interfaces on the
system. Two onboard nvidia and two of these IP1000 cards.
