Description Chris Hapgood 2006-11-08 15:43:41 UTC
Description of problem: After several hours of operation, the tlan network
interface ceases to work under FC5.  No messages in any log that I can find
(suggestions please!).  Items of particular interest: server ran flawlessly
under FC4 for two years -recent upgrade to FC5 provoked the problem.  I have two
tlan NICs (Compaq Netelligent 10/100) installed -both exhibit the same problem.
 It is possible to recover the problem simply by rmmod tlan/modprobe tlan.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.18-1.2200.fc5smp #1 SMP Sat Oct 14 17:15:35 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


How reproducible: Not easy, but consistent: Start server, wait for up to 12 hours.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. start server
2. wait up to twelve hours
3.
  
Actual results:
Network interface ceases to work.

Expected results:
Network interface works continuously.

Additional info: Server is Proliant 3000 6/550.  Output from lspci:

Comment 2 Neil Horman 2006-11-21 21:40:32 UTC
while I do, Chris could you please do the following:

1) Enable your syslogd to catch KERN_DEBUG messages
2) add the debug=0xffffffff option to your modprobe.conf for your tlan module
3) send in the message log after the device has stopped working.
