just so you've got all the latest bug fixes can you try the driver

I'll try that.
So, somehow we're getting into a state where we can't receive packets,
and we're never getting out of that state.
Are you sure that you're able to transmit and you aren't just handing
it to the hardware and it never gets out? tcpdump on a remote machine
would verify.
I'll try verifying that as well. It's at least not incrementing any
error counts on the tx side.
what hardware do you have (lspci -vvv)
We have four devices for which lspci shows:
01:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 107b (rev 03)
Subsystem: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 1011
and /proc/pci shows:
Bus 1, device 1, function 0:
Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (rev 3).
We also have two devices for which lspci shows:
04:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 1079 (rev 03)
Subsystem: Intel Corp.: Unknown device 1011
and /proc/pci shows:
Bus 4, device 1, function 0:
Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82546GB Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (rev 3).
what is the machine?
It's a PPC970-based ATCA blade with dual cpus and 4GB of memory.
do you have a test that reproduces this?
Kind of. We basically put it under a minor simulated traffic load, and
after 4-8 hours one of the ethernet devices locks up. We haven't found
any easier way to reproduce.
PS for very e1000 specific questions like this you're welcome to
include [EMAIL PROTECTED] too.
Ah, excellent. I'll keep that in mind.
