Hey Guys, Seeing that we`re onto nics at the moment, I wondered if someone could give us some insight on this. eth0 on this machine just dies after aprox 2 hours uptime and continuous use. It's an old K6 machine, was 100% reliable and served as a NAT router for aprox 1 year running Redhat. Recently we upgraded the box to Redhat 7.2 (no mods, just off the CD)and now have this prob.
The machine is using 2 very good but old reliable DEC 100TX nics, chipset "21143-PC" I guess it proves that one shouldn`t mess with stuff that works, it's just christmas time and things are settling down and I needed something "hardwarish" to play with on my lunch break.....its that itch you get sometimes! Oh, both nics are identical on eth0 and eth1, eth1 does not display this behaviour.
