Description John McHarry 2000-12-07 14:00:49 UTC
System is Linux 6.2 built with everything.  Motherboard is PC133 M754LMR, 
64MB.  NICs are D-Link DFE-530TX+ (rtl8139 based) 
eth0 Int 9 0xd800 (works)
eth1 Int 11 0xd400 (fails)
eth2 Int 5 0xd000
The test case is to do a single ping from the bad NIC (the others will 
support continuous pings).  The first ping fails, but generates 
only "Destination Host Unreachable."  

The second ping also returns
eth1: Transmit timeout status 0c 0005 media 00
eth1: Tx queue start entry 4 dirty entry 0
(after a pause)
eth1: RTL8139 Interrupt line blocked, status 5  
After that it does not return to the command prompt until enter is hit.

A third ping adds
eth1: Transmit timeout status 0c 0005 media 00
eth1: Tx queue start entry 10 dirty entry 6
eth1: Transmit timeout status 0c 0005 media 00
eth1: Transmit queue start enty 4 dirty entry 0
eth1: Transmit timeout status 0d 0004 media 00
eth1: Transmit queue start enty 4 dirty entry 0
This last pair is repeated for a total of four times, then
eth1: RTL8139 Interrupt line blocked, status 4.
eth1: RTL8139 Interrupt line blocked, status 4.
Again, it doesn't return to the command prompt until enter is hit.

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
