Subject: [9fans] rtl8139 ether driver
Date: Wed, 26 Jun 2002 10:45:59 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020626014705.4A7E0199E3@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)


I'm now forced to use rtl8139 nic for my new Auth/CPU server (
it's for 3ed not 4ed. I cannot update our system now, because it's
being used for the platform for our application, and the semester is
still going here).   it reboots once a day.  :-)

We had been using dual Pen III on SuperMicro motherboard, but it
crushed about a month ago.   Then, I changed that server to a Pen 4
mother board (1.6GHz) of AOpen AX4B Pro-533 which has on board
nic chip of Realtek 8100BL.   It seems to work fine, however, it may
have problem as above.

When I read the /sys/src/9/pc/ether8139.c, I found the lines of
"Error recovery for the various over/under-flow conditions may need work"
phrase.   Does my problem relate to this remark?

Kenji
