Occasional hangups with forcedeth
Hi gurus,
using
00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation MCP79 Ethernet (rev b1)
I have occasional (i.e. occuring about every 6 weeks) hangups of this
device.
Ping to and from the machine does work, but loss is over 70%.
Any hints or workarounds?
Regards,
Klaus
