[eepro100] Re: urgent question about linux driver

[???]

The driver is a default one which is included in RedHat6.2.
In my case, the error message comes when too much packets are bursted.
It is all right that the driver cannot handle traffic which is above certain threshold,
but the problem is that the driver got intermitted and cannot handle any traffic 
when the threshold is reached.

Beside that... can I get more infomations about the meaning of the options I tried ?
"max_interrupt_work=800 rx_copybreak=10 "
What happens when 'max_interrupt_work' increases ?
What's the meaning of 'rx_copybreak' ?

Anyway I'm glad to hear that you are working on the solution.

Best regards
