Well... you could also try using another NIC driver for your board. I guess that the 'vortex' series loosely identifies a 3Com card.
There are a large number of cards that work with that driver. I also recall that Donald Becker wrote drivers for those cards. Try other drivers and if all still goes wrong, you could also try another NIC... -----Original Message----- From: Nachman Yaakov Ziskind [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 4:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [leaf-user] Annoying duplex errors [Bering rc2] ... getting lots of errors in both syslog and kern.log: Aug 12 11:21:21 yoreach kernel: eth0: Transmit error, Tx status register 82.

I've read the vortex page, and I think that those packets are spurious; since the firewall works quite well, thank you, changing the duplex mode of my network card seems not to be in order. But the messages are quite a bother, and they exhaust the log filesystem. Is there anyway to supress these error messages, short of turning off logging altogether?
