Hello, Forcing the VIA Velocity interface to 1000 Mbps FDX appears to help a bit but still the connection stops transferring data after a while. I added some printk's and in or after velocity_tx_service it ends. Where should I focus with my debug printk's? It appears I can reproduce the issue

Hello, This issue occurs on VIA Epia M910E. Both interfaces suffer from this. Setting msglvl with ethtool has no effect on the info the driver provides on any issues. So how to proceed from here? If this is a software issue, which I cannot determine, the driver is useless in its present state.

Hello, I noticed multiple times that VIA velocity interface stop functioning without reason but is revived after and `ifdown ethX; ifup ethX`. No data is transferred until the `fix` is applied. No errors are shown in dmesg or /var/log/messages w.r.t. the interface. How to find the root cause?
