[realtek] CNF401 CardBus card : realtek_cb reboots

[The Black Unicorn]

Hi,

I bought a CNET SinglePoint CNF401 Cardbus card a few days ago. It came
with a modified rtl8139.c with cardbus support. I have compiled this
driver and changed the relevant settings in the pcmcia scripts, and the
driver loads correctly. The network is also up and working.

There is one problem, though. Whenever I am downloading at high speed
(eg debian package update) I get the following errors (after setting
debug of realtek_cb to a high enough level) :

eth0: Abnormal interrupt, status 00000011
eth0: Abnormal interrupt, status 00000021

And after a few of those, the system reboots.

Some digging into the code tells me that
0011 = RxOverflow (0x10) & RxOK (0x01)
0021 = RxUnderrun (0x20) & RxOK (0x01)

The page on scyld.com says

0x0010 : Rx Buffer overflow, set when the Rx ring overflows due
to high interrupt latency
0x0020 : Rx packet underrun: this should never occur

Well ehm... it does occur :(

The next couple of thousand lines (about 8000 actually) in syslog are
unreadable and seem to be dumped binary code (raw packets ??)

Other info : I'm using a 2.2.19 kernel on a Sony VAIO F801

Does anyone have any idea of what could cause this ? Or, as an
alternative, could anyone tell me where to find a 2.4 driver for
realtek_cb and everything that goes with it ?

TIA
