This happens systematically for the kernel-2.4.20-19.8  and kernel-2.4.20-19.8.

Comment 1 Jeff Garzik 2003-08-15 14:08:36 EDT

Can you try e100 driver instead?

Comment 2 Dominique Mangeol 2003-08-19 12:52:42 EDT

e100 does not work either in those 2 kernels (works fine in the previous one)

Comment 3 Jeff Garzik 2003-08-27 13:33:49 EDT

Can you provide 'lspci -vvv' and 'dmesg' output?

Comment 4 Dave Jones 2004-01-05 14:32:12 EST
