[eepro100] Unknown receiver error

[West, Jeff]

All:

	I have looked at the list and noted some traffic early in 2002 about
this error message.  However, a definitive solution I could not locate.  So
I ask....

Linux Cluster, Redhat 7.2 with custom (trimmed down, .config on request)
2.4.18 SMP kernel on dual Athlon 1800s, 1GB per node.  

Running latest (downloaded as of 9-3-02) Becker eepro100 driver.  Sleep mode
disabled.
from dmesg:

  Board assembly 751767-004, Physical connectors present: RJ45

  General self-test: passed.
  Serial sub-system self-test: passed.
  Internal registers self-test: passed.
  ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x3258698e).

Running large MPI job, runs master nearly out of memory, machine goes into
swap.  Sometimes job runs, sometimes does not.  

When job does not run, we get the following in /var/log/messages on the
master and several (10%) of the slaves:
Sep  4 15:32:12 n9 kernel: Command 80 was not immediately accepted, 112
ticks!
Sep  4 15:32:12 n9 kernel: eth0: Unknown receiver error, status=0x5048.


We would like to overcome this problem.  

What other information is needed to follow up on this problem?  Is there a
known solution?
