From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 Description of problem: I am attempting to copy a large amount of data (~200gb) and after 30-40 seconds, the network completely dies and nothing is logged in /var/log/messages or printed on the console. A simple ifdown and ifup returns it to normal operation for another 30-40 seconds and the process repeats. I have tried many different methods to copy this data, such as scp, rsync over nfs, http and ftp and all produce the same result. The disk that is being copied to is a usb2 attached storage device. The motherboard is Intel i440LX with dial P3 800mhz cpus and the Gig-e card is Airlink AGIGA32PCI. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.11-1.27_FC3smp How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Begin copying large file across the network using your favorite network protocol. This is a gigabit card, so you will need 2 machines with gigabit and a gig switch to reproduce this. 2. Wait 30-40 seconds. 3. ifdown the interface and ifup again to see it fail again Additional info: #lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 440GX - 82443GX Host bridge 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 440GX - 82443GX AGP bridge 00:09.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 80960RP [i960 RP Microprocessor/Bridge] (rev 03) 00:09.1 RAID bus controller: Mylex Corporation DAC960PG (rev 03) 00:0b.0 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc.

I have test kernels w/ an r8169 update available here: http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/fc3/ Let's start by giving those a try to see if they help the problem you are seeing. Please post your results here...thanks!
An update has been released for Fedora Core 3 (kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) which may contain a fix for your problem. Please update to this new kernel, and report whether or not it fixes your problem. If you have updated to Fedora Core 4 since this bug was opened, and the problem still occurs with the latest updates for that release, please change the version field of this bug to 'fc4'. Thank you.
Closed due to lack of response. Please re-open when the requested test results become available...thanks!
