Hello everyone,
Under any significant load the driver starts producing
detected Tx Unit hang messages and resets adapter, thus
networking is not really usable.
By significant load i mean an attempt to download big (>2 Mb)
file over ssh.
The bug is 100% reproducible.
It looks like the problem is known for a long time, but
there is some mess with linux e1000 drivers: it looks
like kernel contains 7.x version (alive) and there is
8.x version by intel on sourceforge (not maintained
and doesn't compile for newer kernels). A lot of suggestions
are about intel's version of the driver.
Please sched some light on the situation with e1000 in linux...
P.S. I've submitted a bug to the linux kernel:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47331
it has all additional info you may be interested.
Thank you!
