Description Jan Artysiewicz 2006-05-10 13:46:17 UTC
Description of problem:

Ethernet card stop working with kernel messages as above.
This problem apears on high network load (eg. downloading file from LAN server).
I'm don't find the way to fix it - only restart helps.

Comment 1 Armijn Hemel 2006-09-03 11:21:48 UTC
I get similar errors on a Toshiba Satellite L100-L129 when I try to do a FTP
install of Fedora Core 6 test 2 (so could someone reassign this one to fc6t2?),
or a later development version. Under Windows XP the card works as expected.

Comment 2 Dave Jones 2006-09-17 01:31:09 UTC
[This comment added as part of a mass-update to all open FC4 kernel bugs]

FC4 has now transitioned to the Fedora legacy project, which will continue to
release security related updates for the kernel.  As this bug is not security
related, it is unlikely to be fixed in an update for FC4, and has been migrated
to FC5.

Please retest with Fedora Core 5.

Thank you.

Comment 3 Dave Jones 2006-10-16 20:06:38 UTC
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.

Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.

This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state.
Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is
still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.

Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter
can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list
of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a
comment to the bug.

In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5
have reported that installing a kernel update has left their
systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem
please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2
installed.  See bug 207474 for further details.

If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the
release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613.

If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different
problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem.

Thank you.

Comment 4 Jan Artysiewicz 2006-10-20 07:48:54 UTC
i'v tested this on 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5. I'v got the same error.

Comment 5 John W. Linville 2006-10-23 20:05:14 UTC
Please attach the output of runnint "sysreport" on the box in question.  That 
may reveal some information to help us investigate this further...thanks!

Comment 6 John W. Linville 2007-08-07 21:22:37 UTC
Closed due to lack of response...please reopen if/when the requested info 
becomes available.
