I put the question out to the firmware developer. While we wait, can you keep Eric's patch in place and give me the results along with the output of 'ethtool -d eth0 | grep 0x047' after the problem happens? Eric's patch shows the hash registers at the time they are programmed. I'm interested to see if the values change (by firmware) after the failure. -- 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/
