Dear Pekka, dear developers! Some time ago I reported problems with transmit timeouts with b44 and kernel 2.4 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/9/1/197 and followin discussion).
Now I have very similar problems with kernel 2.6: Aug 2 09:53:15 gandalf vmunix: b44: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex. Aug 2 09:53:15 gandalf vmunix: b44: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX. Aug 2 09:53:15 gandalf ifplugd(eth0)[3291]: Link beat detected. Aug 2 09:53:20 gandalf dnsmasq[3005]: reading /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf Aug 2 09:53:20 gandalf dnsmasq[3005]: using nameserver 193.205.4.2#53 Aug 2 09:53:20 gandalf dnsmasq[3005]: using nameserver 193.205.4.11#53 Aug 2 09:53:25 gandalf vmunix: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out Aug 2 09:53:25 gandalf vmunix: b44: eth0: transmit timed out, resetting Aug 2 09:53:26 gandalf kernel: b44: eth0: Link is down. Aug 2 09:53:26 gandalf ifplugd(eth0)[3291]: Link beat lost. Aug 2 09:53:28 gandalf vmunix: b44: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex. Aug 2 09:53:28 gandalf vmunix: b44: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX. and wanted to ask what I can do to overcome this problems again. Currently I am running 2.6.13-rc4-mm1 on an acer travelmate 654LCi.
