Hi

I was having problems with an Intel Ether Express card on kernel 2.0.35
which would crash the system, and require a hard reboot.

If I ran it in 16 bit mode, the mesage which would fill the screen and lock
the system was:

"eth0: Rx frame at 2d20 corrupted status 8cf7, cmd alff, next 6aee, pbuf
a380, len 3031"

If I ran it in 8 bit mode, the message was:

"eth0: CU wedged, status 0240 0000, resetting..."

I upgraded the kernel, to 2.2.6 and I am pleased that the system does not
crash, however during ftp, I get the following messages:

eth0: FOF or F not set on received buffer (0000)
eth0: FOF or F not set on received buffer (8000)
...REPEATED 6 more times...
eth0: tx interupt but no status
eth0: CU wdged, status 0040 0000, resetting
eth0: i82586 reset timed out, kicking...
...REPEATED 4 more times...
eth0: i82586 not responding, giving up.

It does not lockup the system, but after this, I must reboot to allow the
card to be used again.  In 8 bit mode, it operates so slow, that I have been
unable to test whether it works.

It is probably worth noting that it worked on kernel 2.0.35 before I
upgraded the processor.

It was a Compaq Prolinea 4/25s (486 25Mhz).  I added an Evergreen 486
Upgrade (133 AMD processor).  If I remove the processor and try it again it
will work fine (or did on 2.0.35).  Also, I have swapped the drive with a
Windows 3.11 that I had lying arround (how's that for a step backward).  By
doing this, I was able to ftp to my hearts content, with no problems from
the card.

I would like to get this working, and will provide what ever details that
might be of help.

Tim
