Can you send: - the output of 'lspci -vvx' - the content of /proc/interrupts - an ethtool dump of the registers.

I have had a few success reports with the 8110 (and failures too, see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5284) but I have not received reports for this behavior lately. Complete lack of Rx/Tx activity have been observed due to some irq problems. It does not seem to be the issue here. -- Ueimor - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
