I did some testing today and found that the error occurs after
applying some of the patches. However I did not figure out the exact
patch in which the error "starts" since it sometimes occurs immediatly
when moving some data over the net and sometimes it takes 30 min till
I get the transmit timeout. I will be away till sunday and do some
more testing then.

The error exists from patch 2 on. I did some network testing with
patch 1 and currently use it and have no errors so far.
From my experiences up to now patch 1 should be error free.

fyi:
I do not know whether it is related to the problem, but since using
the version you told me there are these entries is my log:

BTW, I don't know wheter it's related too, but I think you should try
first to get rid of these errors:
Freeing unused kernel memory: 220k freed

Can you reproduce this on 2.6.22 (not 2.6.22.x - it might be a -stable
regression)?

Hi,

am am looking for this issue for some time now, but there where no
errors in 2.6.22-r2 (gentoo speak, I guess this is 2.6.22.2
officially), I also ran git-bisect (for more information see the older
messages in this thread).

2.6.22-r2 in gentoo is based on 2.6.22.1. It is way before
0e4851502f846b13b29b7f88f1250c980d57e944 that you reported to work.
Thus it is not surprizing that it works.

Any update regarding the patchkit that I sent on 2007/08/16 ?

It would help to narrow the culprit.

Hi Francois,

this is what I found and sent:

patch 1 and currently use it and have no errors so far.
From my experiences up to now patch 1 should be error free.
Do you need additional info?

Hi,

after reading about issues with the nics on kontron boards I did a
bios upgrade,
but this did not change anything.
However, yesterday the nic (onboard) I used died. No link at all,
after switching to
the next onboard  nic I got a NETDEV transmit timeout with that one on
kernel 2.6.22-r2.
It seems the whole thing is a hardware issue. I will try to figure out
with kontron.

Sorry :(

Karl
