Hi,
Just thought I'd mine the collective consciousness and see if anyone has
been having the same trouble I'm experiencing. I had to swap
motherboards recently because my other one went fubar (I blame solar
flares ;-) but my new(er) MSI KT6 Delta FIS2R with an Athlon 3000+,
which I bought around the end of 2003, has also been showing weird
behavior.
When I'm streaming data or (sometimes) making big downloads, the
Ethernet connection conks out, so I have to do an ifdown/ifup to get
things flowing again (and the connection is often lost in this
process). I don't need to reload the driver, which surprises me a bit,
it just requires whatever reset that doing ifup/ifdown causes.
The interesting thing is that this happens both when I'm using the
onboard Broadcom BCM5788 Gigabit adapter (tg3.ko) and my venerable 3c905
Boomerang Fast Ethernet card (3c59x.ko).
I guess this is the first board of mine to have an IO-APIC that actually
works, so that might have something to do with it. It has a VIA KT600
chipset, which may or may not be A Good Thing(TM).
At least there's a good radio station in town now, so my streaming
requirements have been reduced dramatically ;-)
Anyway, PCI and IRQ listings below, if they're relevant:
