This sounds like a hardware problem. Some (poorly designed, IMHO) cards do this. It is almost certainly a hardware issue. Possible workaround: rmmod followed by insmod. Generally, forcing the driver to reinitialize the card will solve this, but there are some *really* bad cards out there. The chipset issue is usually something like: - cable removed - chipset detects no ethernet carrier; automatically tries to renegotiate 10/100/HD/FD/whatever/TP/coax/ whatever it does; - fails to find an ethernet connection; locks into some default mode that may not be supported. Default mode is often 10b2 or 10b5 (coax and AUI, respectively) -- but most cards don't have these physical ports. |
