Hello,
I have a Dell Poweredge 500SC server with an integrated eepro100 NIC. I'm
running linux kernel 2.4.18 and while using the eepro100 driver I was
experencing losses of network connectivity. After some searching and
reading, the information I found seemed to suggest that using Intel's e100
driver would correct things.
I thought that things were OK until yesterday. When all my remote display X
apps disappeared :( Looking through the syslog shows that this was not a
one time occurrence:
May 9 12:45:53 roland kernel: e100: eth0 NIC Link is Down
May 9 12:46:29 roland kernel: e100: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full
duplex
May 15 16:24:39 roland kernel: e100: eth0 NIC Link is Down
May 15 16:24:41 roland kernel: e100: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full
duplex
May 15 16:24:57 roland kernel: e100: eth0 NIC Link is Down
May 15 16:25:01 roland kernel: e100: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full
duplex
Perhaps this wouldn't be so bad except that even after 4:26pm yesterday no
traffic would go over the link, even though the above message suggests that
it is up. Bringing the interface down, removing the e100 module and
insmod'ing it again didn't work. It was necessary to reboot the server to
correct this.
After looking through the archives for this list I've found no clues. I hope
that someone can help! I've attached the output of dmesg and lspci, if any
further information would be helpful just let me know.
Thank you, Matthew
