rtl8139 problems

[Lenart Gabor]

Hi !

I'm using "rtl8139.c:v1.00F 8/12/98" version of rtl8139 driver. After a few
transferred megabytes kernel says :
Sep  2 20:08:03 world kernel: eth0: Transmit timeout, status 0d 0000 media 08.
Sep  2 20:08:03 world kernel: eth0: Tx queue start entry 4  dirty entry 0.
Sep  2 20:08:03 world kernel: eth0:  Tx descriptor 0 is 00002000. (queue head)
Sep  2 20:08:03 world kernel: eth0:  Tx descriptor 1 is 00002000.
Sep  2 20:08:03 world kernel: eth0:  Tx descriptor 2 is 00002000.
Sep  2 20:08:03 world kernel: eth0:  Tx descriptor 3 is 00002000.
Sep  2 20:08:03 world kernel: eth0: MII #32 registers are: 1000 782d 0000 0000 05e1 0000 0000 0000.
After this point I can't use the eth interface  ping does not work etc.
If I "ifconfig eth0 down" than rerun /etc/init.d/network script
(debian) it will work again .... but after a few megabytes everything can
be started again :(

Sorry for my Bad English and other misstakes (I'm typing on about
120bps line at the moment !!)
