I'm posting this to a few lists that I hope I might get some info from.
I have been using the fxp driver for quite a while with good results, so when it came
time to get some gigabit stuff I
looked and saw the wx driver. I decided it would be convenient to stick with Intel for
several reasons.
I recent gave up truing to make a Intel gigE NIC work in my Alpha so I
got an Alteon board. It works without the severe problem of the Intel
card. However, its acting a little weird. I see messages saying the
link went down and up quite often. I've tried both 4.3 and 4.4 and have
the same thing. I
the copper version of the NIC. Were

I have some more information since my initial posting yesterday. I set
the NMBCLUSTERS back to default, which made no difference. Therefore,
moving from 4.3 to 4.4 is what drastically increased the frequency at
which the link goes down and back up. I also captured dmesg now I case
there is any use
dust in the port and not something more serious. The
important thing is it looks like everything is working now.
