Watch this psychic episode:
You're using kernel 2.2.
You're using a 3com NIC.
You're using it on a heavily loaded network.
The network is running at 10 mbit/sec.
The network is half-duplex.
The network is hubbed.
You're about to upgrade your 3c59x.c driver to
http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/3c59x-2.2.17-pre18
:)
Seriously, this is a known and recurring problem. It the latest version of the 2.2
driver doesn't nail it then something's probably wrong with your network gear.
If you're running a Cardbus NIC then you'll need to grab David's current beta driver.
Let me know.
