I'm having troble with eepro100 on 2.3.99-prex. It generates timeout error very often. I thought it is alpha platform problem but it's new driver's bug. There's a race condition problem in speedo_start_xmit(). The driver does read-modify-write and mean while 8255x write something to the same address. So I change the operation automic. Old driver(in 2.2.14) doesn't have the problem. What about seperating one 4bytes field to two 2byte fields. Soohoon. diff -w drivers/net/eepro100.c ~/linux/drivers/net/eepro100.c 899c899 < /* #if 0 - Alphas need this or else they come up in 10 Mbit mode */ --- > #if 0 916c916 < /* #endif */ --- > #endif 1221,1223c1221 < // last_cmd->cmd_status &= cpu_to_le32(~(CmdSuspend | CmdIntr)); < clear_bit(30, &last_cmd->cmd_status); < clear_bit(29, &last_cmd->cmd_status); --- > last_cmd->cmd_status &= cpu_to_le32(~(CmdSuspend | CmdIntr));
