Hi,
my mpc8349 based board is known to have some problems with one ethernet phy
and is producing more (< 0.001%) frame errors than it should. This is enough
for the gianfar driver (of 2.6.27.20) to oops when I create lot's of packets
with a ping flood.
The oops occurs after "NETDEV WATCHDOG" reports that a "transmit timed out".
The driver does not oops on the other phy, which does not produce frame
errors.
Any Ideas?
Markus
