Description of problem:
With a DELL 6650 wich include a bmc5700, the network device is going
down when (i think) lots of files (or big files i don't know) are send
throw it.
Here is a sample with the tg3 driver :

Comment 1 Dave Jones 2005-04-16 05:37:19 UTC
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be
provided by Red Hat.  The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel
updates for security problems only.

If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please
try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the
product version accordingly.

Thank you.
