Day 3 and still going.
I guess it's worth noting that I have a PCI card while Scott's (I gather) is
integrated into the motherboard.
His comes up as:
eth0:�Intel PCI EtherExpress Pro100 82557, 00:90:27:8D:36:FA, IRQ 21.
� Board assembly 000000-000, Physical connectors present: RJ45
� Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
Mine comes up as:
eth1: OEM i82557/i82558 10/100 Ethernet, 00:80:29:66:1A:82, IRQ 11.
Board assembly 650990-001, Physical connectors present: RJ45
Primary interface chip DP83840 PHY #1.
DP83840 specific setup, setting register 23 to 8462.
I do, however, get a few huge streaks of stuff like this:
eth1: can't fill rx buffer (force 0)!

I'm not sure what's useful in that. This morning's incident produced about
300k worth of it in the span of 4 seconds. Force is 1 or 0 with no apparent
pattern and the l, *, and = usually advance one or two places between dumps.
I don't have any traffic reports fine-grained enough to say if it stopped
responding during the incident, but it doesn't seem to have any long term
effect.
This is a 256MB Celeron/450 that gets pretty hammered (probably around 7-8
Mbit at that time of day).
