Hello!
I have installed the D-Link DFE-500TX (Rev C6) on a Pentium running Red Hat
Linux 5.0 (2.0.32). Last night, the network suddently stopped working, and
I had to restart the computer. I have noticed numerous copies of the
following in kernel log:
kernel: eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame spanned multiple buffers, status
0877c1b6!
The address after status is different. I am using tulip.c v0.79 of the
driver by Donald Becker. Anyone know what could be wrong? I tried
upgrading to v.87, v.89 and v.90. The kernel message stopped, but the
network still freezes after 2-4 hours of activity. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
