I have a linksys Cardbus NIC 10/100 Model # PCM200 that is detected
properly and everything and works most of the time.  However, after a while
of surfing the net or downloading something, it appears to hang.  It no
longer transmits. I looked in the /var/messages and here is the output:

Mar 21 10:45:47 localhost kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out

By doing a /etc/init.d/network restart it will bring the interface back up
so it will work for a while until it happens again.

Here is the output of the /etc/init.d/network restart:

Mar 21 10:45:55 localhost network: Shutting down interface eth0:  succeeded
Mar 21 10:45:55 localhost modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module irlan0
Mar 21 10:45:55 localhost sysctl: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0
Mar 21 10:45:55 localhost sysctl: net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
Mar 21 10:45:55 localhost sysctl: kernel.sysrq = 0
Mar 21 10:45:55 localhost network: Setting network parameters:  succeeded
Mar 21 10:45:56 localhost network: Bringing up interface lo:  succeeded
Mar 21 10:45:57 localhost network: Bringing up interface eth0:  succeeded

Here is the output of the pcmcia starting up:

Mar 21 09:31:44 localhost rc: Starting pcmcia:  succeeded

So it appears there are no problems with pcmcia.  I have changed the pcmcia
configuration file so it would not use irq 11 or 10 or 5.  It was
conflicting with another irq.  I've attached my config.opts file.  

This is on a Dell Inspiron 3500 and is reproducable every time.  I have the
latest 2.4.2-0.1.25 and kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.24-1 installed.  Here is the
output of /proc/interrupts:

Comment 2 Arjan van de Ven 2001-04-07 23:35:37 UTC
Please update to the current kernel from rawhide; wolverine had a
buggy tulip driver.

Please re-open this bug if 2.4.2-0.1.49 or later does not fix the
bug.

Comment 3 westbrook 2001-04-11 03:29:06 UTC
I've upgraded to 2.4.2-0.1.49 and I'm still having the same problem.  However,
it does seem to be more reliable... just not 100% yet.  I am still getting the
following in my /var/logs/messages especially when I try to bring up a nfs mount:

Apr 10 22:22:08 localhost network: Bringing up interface lo:  succeeded
Apr 10 22:22:08 localhost network: Bringing up interface eth0:  succeeded

The only way to get the nic to respond is to restart /etc/rc.d/network restart.
 I will also attach my /var/log/dmesg if that might be of some use.

If you have any suggestions or comments, please contact me.
