Useing GENERIC i can't seem to force the nic to work without it dropping off the network. When i does drop off the network it goes up and down every 2-3 seconds. I have tried 2 different switchs (cisco and xylan) with both switchs set to full-duplex on all ports, and nic set to 100 full. If i set the nics to auto they do detect the correct media speed and duplex, but i get lots of out errors (netstat -in). The host i'm ftping from and to are on the same switch and same ip segment. Just to see if it would help i made a custom kernel, and removed and nics not being used, usb*, and a few isa devices. After that i was able to keep the card on the network with it forced to full duplex, but i still get out put errors (also crc's). I have 2 machines that do this with starfire nics. 1 clone P2-400, 1 compaq 1400r(i think that right) dual 500. I will attach a dmesg to this email and a kernel config.
