Dear Debian Kernel Team! I am using a DLink DFE 850-TX (quad port) NIC. There is a problem with the kernel-image-2.4.26-1-686 packages. The sundance driver coming with these images seems to work, but after copying about 1 GB of data the NIC behaves dead. This is reproducable.
When I download the sundance driver from Donald Beckers homepage and compile it with the appropiate kernel headers everything works fine. I can copy thousands of megabytes without getting the NIC stuck. For the sundance driver I use I needed to download the following files from Donald Becker's homepage: ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/kern_compat.h ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/pci-scan.c ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/pci-scan.h ftp://ftp.scyld.com/pub/network/sundance.c kern_compat.h 10624 Byte pci-scan.c 20199 Byte pci-scan.h 2990 Byte sundance.c 51065 Byte naming the versions: kern_compat.h: $Revision: 1.18 $ $Date: 2003/07/22 17:40:21 $ "pci-scan.c:v1.12 7/30/2003 Donald Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" pci-scan.h: version 1.02 $Version:$ $Date: 2001/03/18 21:35:59 $ "sundance.c:v1.11 2/4/2003 Written by Donald Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>\n"; After compiling and installing those drivers everything worked fine. Thanks for your work! Sincerely, Hebert Meier.
