I recent gave up truing to make a Intel gigE NIC work in my Alpha so I
got an Alteon board. It works without the severe problem of the Intel
card. However, its acting a little weird. I see messages saying the
link went down and up quite often. I've tried both 4.3 and 4.4 and have
the same thing. I increased NMBCLUSTERS significantly and still see the
same thing. I made the switch from 4.3 to 4.4 at the same time I
incrased NMBCLUSTERS from 8192 to 32767 so I can't say which, but one
(or both) of those changes increased the rate at which I see the link
status change message. Before I saw it every once in a while
reguardless of whether there was heavy traffic or not. Now it shows up
every few seconds when there is any traffic at all. Anyone have any
ideas what's going on?
BTW, I would include my dmesg but its full of "ti0: link down" and
"ti0: gigabit link up" so here's there pertinent info.
Alpha 21164PC 533 on PC164SX
Alteon gigE card in 64bit PCI slot with IRQ 11 which is not shared
If any other info would help, just ask and I'll get it.
