Hello.
I'm having problems with 8.0/amd64 with the following card:
ale0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x83041043 chip=0x10261969
rev=0xb0 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Attansic (Now owned by Atheros)'
device = 'PCI-E ETHERNET CONTROLLER (AR8121/AR8113 )'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
This is connected to a 100Mb/s Full Duplex switch with no fancy features.
Sometimes, while connected through ssh to this box, I get kicked out with:
Disconnecting: Corrupted MAC on input.
or:
Disconnecting: Bad packet length 1686869659.
At the same time on the server's log and console, I see:
kernel: ale0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
kernel: ale0: could not disable Tx/Rx MAC(0x00000008)!
kernel: ale0: link state changed to DOWN
kernel: ale0: link state changed to UP
I'm setting up this box, so I can't speak of other
protocols/applications yet.
I saw some threads about this dating back to 2008 and related to EEEPCs,
but this was supposed to be fixed.
Any help?
bye & Thanks
av.
