Ah, I understand: you are using some kind of webmail, not a proper MUA.
Here is the mii-tool output
mii-diag
See? You found it.
Basic registers of MII PHY #24: 3000 786d 0000 0000 01e1 45e1 0005 2801. The autonegotiated capability is 01e0. The autonegotiated media type is 100baseTx-FD. Basic mode control register 0x3000: Auto-negotiation enabled. You have link beat, and everything is working OK. Your link partner advertised 45e1: Flow-control 100baseTx-FD 100baseTx 10baseT-FD 10baseT, w/ 802.3X flow control. End of basic transceiver information.
So the card thinks everything is OK. The big problem you discovered yourself the other day: | Dec 30 12:22:29 linux kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out | Dec 30 12:22:29 linux kernel: eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00status e681. | Dec 30 12:22:29 linux kernel: diagnostics: net 0cd8 media 8880 dma 0000003a. | Dec 30 12:22:29 linux kernel: eth0: Interrupt posted but not delivered -- IRQ blocked by another device?
I removed the linux and installed the Windows XP and the net worked properly.
Removed? Formated et al? I'm surprised... :-O
What is wrong with the linux?
PS. I changed the Ethernet Card from a slot to another and it took another IRQ but it is the same with the VGA Controller's IRQ now.
Any suggestion?
You have a problem. I can only give you ideas, but not solutions: I'm not there, I can not try things. That's up to you. - Check in Windows if the card is using the same IRQ as in Linux, and if it is in use by something else. If that is case, but it works, then it seems the Linux module can not handle irq sharing. You might investigate if you can use a different module for your card, contact the developpers... - You need to force that card to use a different IRQ. Some cards have software to change the IRQ used, in the form of an msdos program. - If not, then, the bios configuration can be changed. You can select not to use P&P, perhaps. Or you can manually select an IRQ - that depends completely on your bios, and what it allows you to do. In any case, multiple trials and errors. There are some howtos about P&P and such things that might help- - Again, you can try different card slots, moving all of them around till it works - if it does, it might not. - And... well, you might try enabling/disabling acpi and/or apic. - Finally, you might have to try a different card. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
