I have two different types of cards (realtek using the 8139too driver
and an intel using the eepro100 driver) that only work when attached to
10Mbit hubs. Attach them to 100Mbit switches and they quit working with
no apparent errors.
It would seem to be in the network subsystem of the kernel or in a part
of the driver common to all affected cards I've tried. I've swapped
absolutely everything (different mainboards, replaced initially
installed network cards, different switches, wires, etc...) and
duplicated the results on someone else's machines and network. The only
commonality is that all machines were using various AMD processors and
use MDK 8.1 tried with both the stock 2.4.8-26mdk and cooker's
2.4.12-3mdk kernels.
Anyone else have this problem and/or a possible solution? This is
unfortunately a show stopper. I was about to upgrade our office's 8.0
machines (workstations and server) to 8.1 when this problem arose.
