3Com Vortex freezes
Hey, I'm using a 3Com Vortex ethernet device on a 10BaseT network: eth0: 3Com 3c595 Vortex 100baseTX at 0xe400, 00:20:af:ed:16:c5, IRQ 12 Internal config register is 101001b, transceivers 0xe10a. 64K word-wide RAM 3:1 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/10baseT interface. 3c59x.c:v0.25 5/17/96 [EMAIL PROTECTED] It looks like that this card freezes the network i/o after a couple of days eth0: Infinite loop in interrupt, status e011. Disabling functions (78ee) Is there any way to get around with it? Or having the computer automatically reboot when this happens?

Remco: I have never used a 3C595 network adapter (I will pretty soon) but it looks to me like you are using a pretty old version of the driver (the version that comes with kernel 2.0.30). Why don't you go to Donald Becker's home page and download the newest version of the Vortex driver? I bet this will solve the problem. See ya.

Known problem with the older drivers, try getting the latest driver from http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ (look for network drivers and Vortex, I've forgotten the exact page). As for clearing the condition, you could have a cron task that watches the syslog files, and reboots the machine when the message appears. I understand that if you load the driver as a module, ifconfig eth0 down ; rmmod 3c59x ; sleep 5 ; insmod 3c59x ; ifconfig eth0 up ; route clears the problem. - -- |The mark of your ignorance is the depth of Scott K.
