Hi, I've noticed strange problem,=20 With newer kernels 2.6.18, 2.6.19 when trying to load both Ethernet = interfaces (for example root FS is mounted via NFS on eth0 and large = TFTP file transfer is performed on eth1), the following happens: - either ethernet throughput is drastically reduced, pings become 1-4s = (on both interfaces), however everything works; - or "NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out" happens. With debug on = I see that drivers tries to recover from this, but with no success, the = only way is to reboot board.=20 As I remember, in earlier kernels (2.6.11 for sure) it works. Also using = only one interface at a moment, no problem (24h tests, 100's of gigabyte = tranferred). =20 Any ideas/suggestions? thanks in advance, -- Andriy Korud
