The NIC in question is the onboard NIC of Intel D815EEA2 > mainboard. I've also had trouble with the eepro100 driver. I help maintain a 16-node HPC cluster of VA Linux 2200 2x2 with on-board Intel EtherExpress Pro 100 NICs. During times of high network traffic, the eepro100 driver would just cause the card to lose its carrier. Switching to the e100 driver solved this problem. --=20 -- Skylar Thompson (skylar@cs.earlham.edu) -- http://www.cs.earlham.edu/~skylar/ --H+4ONPRPur6+Ovig Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFA1yIOsc4yyULgN4YRApU0AKCs0yG+4nugEn8nCQSPTf2UnFzZzwCgspwT pZRoYuZachRttBaxHUjuWWs= =+Uko -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --H+4ONPRPur6+Ovig-- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
