After a reboot of Slackware 7.1 (Kernel 2.2.16), ping finds other hosts =
for about 5 times, then ping doesn't respond anymore.
I used rtl8139.o delivered with Slackware, it is version 1.07. I =
upgraded to RTL8139 v1.12, but the problem is the same. I tried three =
different NIC (all using RTL8139) from two different brands (Accton =
Cheetah and Planet ENW-9500). Those NIC work fine in another Linux box =
with the same drivers.
With ifconfig I see RX packets: 8 errors:2, TX packets: 2763 errors: 0. =
While ping is running (without showing any progress), I can see the TX =
increasing. Also the Leds of my hub indicate traffic between the two =
machines.
The machine that causes problems is a Compaq Prosignia 300 with built-in =
NIC (pcnet32.o working without any problem!)
I know this sounds a lot like a hardware conflict, but I tried a lot of =
different settings (IRQ / Base address) for this NIC, without any =
progress.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
