Package: src:linux Version: 3.16+63 Hi,
on my Mac G5 I see loss of network connectivity when doing big downloads or uploads. The machine cannot be pinged anymore then and also cannot ping out. When it's happening I see the following messages: Oct 11 10:45:13 g5 kernel: [ 430.477967] gem 0001:04:0f.0 eth0: RX MAC fifo overflow smac[03810400] Oct 11 10:45:17 g5 kernel: [ 434.141957] gem 0001:04:0f.0 eth0: RX MAC fifo overflow smac[03810400] Previous messages, for information: ...
