I don't manually reset the device. This is done automatically, after the reset it renegotiaties the NIC speed too 100 full duplex and resumes operation. It might be that I also experience loss but my network load is so low it isn't noticeable.
I've bypassed the problem as well now by removing the RAID card I had to free the only PCI slot in the machine and placed a Intel dualport GBit nic. Then I proceded to blacklist the via_rhine module (for some reason the BIOS does not allow me to hard-disable the two onboard nics) and I have had no more issues since then. I will keep my subscription to this bug open because I might start testing multicasting and vlan's and intend to use seperate nics for seperate purposes. I do believe I'm affected by the same bug (Same sequence of events followed by a hard reset and the netdev watchdog dump in the logs) but perhaps due to configuration differences (or even different firmware/build revisions of the NIC) it was not fatal in my system. -- NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0 (via-rhine): transmit queue 0 timed out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/454747 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
