Description Jerone Young 2004-09-21 21:08:56 EDT

Description of problem:
In FC2 with kernel 2.6.8-1.521 the via velocity network card works
fine. But every since 2.6.8-1.541 ( this includes the newly
2.6.8-1.582 ) in FC3 test 2 this device driver is totally screwed! You
can access the internet for about 5 seconds, and then the card starts
sending out tons of packets (from what I see lots of unresolved ARP
requests). It's so bad that it takes down my Linksys router. I also
can nolonger do a net install because of this issue. I don't see how
things regressed but they have.


System:
Abit AV8 w/ integrated via velocity network card
Athlon64 3500+
1Gig Ram

Comment 1 Jerone Young 2004-09-28 22:44:25 EDT

This is resolved by the following patches from the linux-netdev  list 
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=109505197332355&w=2
hopefully these changes will make it into the next kernel release.

Comment 2 Jerone Young 2004-10-04 22:22:40 EDT

I sent an email to Jeff Garzik to get the patches stated above into
the tree. He promptly grabbed them and did it...Jeff is the man! These
fixes will be in the 2.6.9 kernel.

Will FC3 wait for 2.6.9 release?

Comment 3 Jerone Young 2004-10-10 13:20:45 EDT

kernel 2.6.8-1.603 includes the latest 2.6.9 bit keeper patches. The
patches to fix this problem where in this and the problem has been
resolved.
