When this happens the system becomes unusable (homes are NFS mounted) and does not recover. A small number of packets do get out when it's in this state, but not enough to be useful. I've tried an ifconfig up/down, all that seems to help is a reboot. The 3c905C driver is compiled into my kernel, so I can't reload it. The machine is a Dell Precision 220 (only one processor installed). Has anyone else seen this problem. Is their a way to reset the interface without rebooting? Any ideas? Many thanks, Clem NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e601. diagnostics: net 0cfc media 8880 dma 0000003a. eth0: Interrupt posted but not delivered -- IRQ blocked by another device?
