Description of problem: The hardware: 04:01.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5700 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12) (14e4:1644) The software: kernel-smp-2.6.15-1.1914_FC5 autofs-4.1.4-16.2 What happens: Using static IPs on the tg3 card, and the following autofs maps: /mnt ldap:devserv.devel.redhat.com:nisMapName=auto.mnt,dc=devel,dc=redhat,dc=com /misc ldap:devserv.devel.redhat.com:nisMapName=auto.misc,dc=devel,dc=redhat,dc=com --timeout=60 /home ldap:devserv.devel.redhat.com:nisMapName=auto.home,dc=devel,dc=redhat,dc=com --timeout=60 the tg3 card works, until autofs tries to mount something (in this case, /mnt/redhat). At which point all traffic comes to a dead stop. e1000 works fine.
With 2.6.15-1.1939_FC5, it seems better - it doesn't shut down networking entirely, it just gives superblock errors trying to mount the NFS filesystems.
Does this imply a data corruption problem?
In tg3? Don't know. What sort of data would you need?

And... in .1955_FC5... it works. So, closing.
