Hello All, I have an e1000 card periodically misbehaving with the message 'Detected Tx unit hang'. I've noticed this problem come up on netdev a couple of times and found the link to the bug tracking page-- http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1463045&group_id=42302&atid=447449
I've also seen the patch that I believe was placed in 2.6.16 and subsequently brought down to 2.4.2? that seems to address this problem by creating a tx_timeout_factor relative to the speed of the NIC. However, there is no mention of this workaround/fix on the bug at the link above and I haven't found any discussion of it here on netdev. Auke recommends turning off tso to see if that resolves the problem and this also seems to work, though I have as yet not been able to confirm this and would prefer a more performance friendly fix..if available ;) Would one of you pplease give an update on the status of the bug? If a cause was ever found and if the tx_timeout_factor was intended as a fix or temporary workaround? I feel like I must have missed something, because I never saw the tx_timeout_factor patch go through netdev at all..
