Hi, A while ago, a message was posted in this list stating the sk based NICs were supposed to be good in performance and stability. Now, I have already had quite a few problems with D-LINK DGE-530T when used on Intel motherboards. On several ocasions, these NICs ended up causing WATCHDOG TIMEOUT. So, I would like to know if there is any known bad revision of one of this cards, or if there is any kind of test a can perform to see if there is a real problem with the NIC. Apparently, it is not a problem with the NIC itself, since I have used the same NIC that behaved badly on one board, and it behaved all right on another. The NICs show as
skc0 at pci2 dev 2 function 0 "D-Link Systems DGE-530T" rev 0x11, Marvell Yukon (0x1): irq 3 sk0 at skc0 port A, address 00:13:46:72:00:24 eephy0 at sk0 phy 0: Marvell 88E1011 Gigabit PHY, rev. 3 in the dmesg (which is attached below). I am asking because I read another message with complaints about this sk driver. Only it was: skc0 at pci0 dev 14 function 0 "Schneider & Koch SK-9821 v2.0" rev 0x12: irq 10 skc0: Marvell Yukon Lite Gigabit Ethernet rev. A3 (0x7) sk0 at skc0 port A: address 00:0c:46:46:50:ec eephy0 at sk0 phy 0: Marvell 88E1011 Gigabit PHY, rev. 5 Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
