Hi all, When I'm ~ 1 min idle my monitor goes out of sync and I get disconnected from the network. When I move the mouse or press a key the network connection is recovered and the screen comes back.
This is what I see in the syslog: ==================================================================== May 21 13:53:58 localhost kernel: eth0: Setting 100mbps full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 45e1. May 21 13:54:22 localhost kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out May 21 13:54:22 localhost kernel: eth0: Tx queue start entry 43 dirty entry 39. May 21 13:54:22 localhost kernel: eth0: Tx descriptor 0 is 00002000. May 21 13:54:22 localhost kernel: eth0: Tx descriptor 1 is 00002000. May 21 13:54:22 localhost kernel: eth0: Tx descriptor 2 is 00002000. May 21 13:54:22 localhost kernel: eth0: Tx descriptor 3 is 00002000. (queue head) May 21 13:54:22 localhost kernel: eth0: Setting 100mbps full-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 45e1. ==================================================================== I'm using the Realtek 8139 network adaptor: ==================================================================== Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) ==================================================================== I'm using Debian sid and the kernel 2.4.18-bf2.4 Notes: * Even if I don't run XFree86 the same problem occurs. * When I'm running kernel 2.4.20-1-k7 and the proprietary nvidia drivers compiled for such kernel, the system crashes after the idle. * I've also tried to suppress the apic feature of the kernel with a boot parameter, which seemed to be found some relation to this problem by other people, but nothing changes for me. Any idea of what I could do to fix this? -- Danny Navarro
