Hi,
I was looking through the archvies for answers to this problem but it
doesn't seem as though it's been fixed.. So i thought i'd pop in and
hopefully give some useful information and ask for some help.
I just upgraded from a Shuttle HOT-541 m/b, Pentium 166, 32MB ram,
CLDG54M30 vid card, to an AOpen AX59 Pro, K6-2 400, 128MB ram, Diamond
Stealth ii s220. Nothing i could see in the kernel or anything needed
adjusting, i just swapped the m/b & cpu and booted up fine. Everything was
going smoothly until my network connection started to die and the only clue
i could see as to why was the occasional "vr0: watchdog timeout" in my log.
Every time i try and transfer a large file via ftp it cruises along at
12MB/s but eventually slows and then dies with a "connection reset by
peer". Sometimes the connection comes back. Sometimes it doesn't. The only
way i seemed to be able to get it back without rebooting is by doing
"ifconfig vr0 down" then "ifconfig vr0 up".
I have a D-Link DFE530TX NIC and have not had any troubles at all for many
many months before the upgrade. I am using 4.0-STABLE. The box is connected
to an MSI K7 Pro, Athlon 600, 256MB RAM, D-Link DFE530TX running Windows 2k
Pro.
