Can anybody help with network problem, I've got a laptop with a Psion Gold Card Netglobal 56K+10/100Mb cardbus card, 2.2.17 kernel,debian 2.2, PCMCIA 3.1.20. At bootup everything is OK, the network is up and I can ping my server, FTP, telnet... all seems fine.
But network fails and hangs with error "eth0: Transmit timeout using MII device, Tx status 0003" when I log onto XDM on the server. I can also get it to give the same error if I "ping -fn" the server from my laptop. The server is a duron 600, debian 2.2 with a D-Link DFE 530tx NIC, newest via-rhine driver installed. I've tried to test if its a server problem by "ping -fn" my laptop from the server, laptop was running win98 at the time and everything was rock solid. No errors are reported on the server. I've tried IRC, comp.linux.networking, PCMCIA group on sourceforge, www searches, everything for a little help, but to no avail I realise this is not a normal network problem but if anybody can help Please, Please, Please do.... Thanks Derm.
