TX or RX overruns? They're usually caused by duplexing errors, maybe due to incorrect auto-negotiation of link parameters, but can also be caused by faulty or out-of-spec cabling.
I can virtually assure you that is is an auto-negotiation error with the card Per was using. This entire card line has a history of auto-negotiation failures. Often they will work for months with no problem, then they simply fail to negotiate a fast connection, decide to fix themselves in 10meg mode regardless of what the driver asks for, or fail to honor full duplex, of something. Often you can force them using mii-tool, or something, but it will come back to bite you after an upgrade, or after you cable them to a new switch. Sometimes powering them complete off (pull-the-plug off, not simply power-down-off due to wake on lan capabilities) they will reset and work ok. (Only to strike again later). I just replace them at the first sign of trouble. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
