From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: Have been having problems with kswapd running away, so downloaded the 2.4.9-e.40.8enterprise which is said to mitigate these problems. Booted up fine, but checking /var/log/messages revealed numerous NETDEV WATCHDOG timeouts on two network interfaces that use the D-Link DSB650TX USB to ethernet converter, which uses the pegasus driver and usb-ohci. These timeouts made it impossible to use the interfaces. Further, when I attempted an ifdown on one of the interfaces, the kernel paniced (no output in the logs). This situation was also true in e35, but everything is fine on e27. While the panic isn't good, the basic problem is the timeouts on the interface. Any suggestions would be helpful. System is a Compaq DL-380 G3 with dual 3.06GHz Xeons and 8GB of memory. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.4.9-e.40.8enterprise How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Attach DSB650TX to USB port and connect to network 2.Boot 2.4.9-e.40.8enterprise 3.Check /var/log/messages- for the adventurous, do an ifdown on the interface Additional info:
