Greetings,

I have a Accton 100baseTX nic that uses the RealTek 8129/8139 chipset. The 
nic works fine if I plug it into a 10mbit hub but as soon as I plug it into 
a switch ( 3Com Baseline 10/100 ) which I use internally for ftp'ing it 
starts transferring data ok and then slowly dies. After awhile it will not 
permit me at all to connect and I have to manually bring down the interface 
using ifconfig and then bring it back up before I can reconnect. I have 
configured my kernel with the correct drivers ( device rl ).
I have 2 identical nic's in the same machine and they both give the same 
problem and I have tried several ftp clients. I'm using 4.6 Stable.

Has anyone experienced similar problems with these nic's ? Any help, 
suggestions would be appreciated.

Kind regards,
Nelis
