You don't need a switch to fix the problem, you need to set them both to FDX. -----Original Message----- From: nbecker@fred.net [mailto:nbecker@fred.net] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 9:09 AM To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: 3c905 problem Sorry to bother you with a stupid question, but I don't know enough to understand this. I moved a machine which has a 3c905 connected to a linksys autosense 10/100 hub. I set no options on the 3c905 module. I get millions of dreaded: Nov 28 08:58:15 adglinux1 kernel: 9: @cf2b3440 length 800005ea status 000105ea Nov 28 08:58:15 adglinux1 kernel: 10: @cf2b3480 length 800005ea status 000105ea Nov 28 08:58:15 adglinux1 kernel: 11: @cf2b34c0 length 800005ea status 000105ea Nov 28 08:58:15 adglinux1 kernel: 12: @cf2b3500 length 800005ea status 000105ea Nov 28 08:58:15 adglinux1 kernel: 13: @cf2b3540 length 800005ea status 000105ea Nov 28 08:58:15 adglinux1 kernel: 14: @cf2b3580 length 80000043 status 00010043 Nov 28 08:58:15 adglinux1 kernel: 15: @cf2b35c0 length 80000043 status 00010043 Nov 28 08:58:15 adglinux1 kernel: eth0: Transmit error, Tx status register 82.

See Documentation/networking/vortex.txt Nov 28 08:58:15 adglinux1 kernel: Flags; bus-master 1, dirty 77261(13) current 77263(15) What exactly does this mean? How do I fix it? I have looked at Documentation/networking/vortex.txt, but I don't know what this HDX/FDX means exactly, and how works with a hub or switch. Would my problem be fixed by replacing the hub with a "switch"? - 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/ - 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/
