Are you sure this is the same problem as what's being discussed here? If you revert to a previous kernel or em driver, does the problem (link up/down) go away? Are you sure you don't actually have a flaky cable or RJ45 connector? What does the switch your NIC is connected to say? (does it show link going up and down) I feel horrible for both Scott and Jack -- I think there's tons of people coming out of the woodwork with "ME TOO" comments who may in fact be suffering from other problems, and are looking for a scapegoat thread. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
