I have a Compaq Proliant 7000 model with a Dual Port NIC (have two Intel EtherPro 100B chipset).
Also it has 4 Pentium III 500 Xeon CPU with RedHat 6.1 / kernel version 2.2.12. 

This is my second question.

I have a problem about eth1 occurs 'Can't transfer Transceiver / Transmit Timeout..' infinitely.

I've tested all version of eepro100.c (1.06 , 1.09l, 1.09r, 1.09t)..

Sometimes eth1 is doing well with 1.09l. (but several hours later, the error appears and then after reboot,

eth1 never work with the error messages.)

Below is my ifconfig -a.. 

(eth1 connected with other linux machine with crose-over utp cable(peer to peer) ) 

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:08:C7:91:8A:3A  
          inet addr:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  Bcast:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  Mask:255.255.255.192
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:4715724 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:624
          TX packets:3642497 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:29535
          collisions:35517 txqueuelen:100 
          Interrupt:11 Base address:0x8000 Memory:20-0 

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:08:C7:91:8A:3B  
          inet addr:192.168.1.1  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          Interrupt:15 Base address:0xa000 Memory:30-0 

eth0 sets 100Mbps with Half duplex(the reason is hub port only support half duplex.) for outer network.
eth1 sets 100Mbps with Full duplex for inner network.

Hmm.. I am very tired of handling this error.

I must overcome this errors for serving network service with 2 seperated network structure.

Please advise for me.
