  Hi, all. I've been having problems with my D-Link DFE-580TX (4 port
EtherNet card using the sundance driver). Using 2.4.19 plus one of
Jason's patches (v1.01d), the machine locks up every few days or so.
It doesn't respond to pings, nor console activity. Even SysRq is
unresponsive.

Today I tried 2.4.20-pre9, which has vLK1.05 of the driver. This is
even worse, as within a few minutes after bootup, one of the
interfaces drops off the net. I get the appended kernel logs.

Another problem is that I can't seem to force eth1 to 100 Mb/s FD,
despite having the following in /etc/modules.conf:
options sundance media='"autosense,100mbps_fd,autosense"'

I need to force the interface because the other end doesn't do auto
negotiation correctly. According to the kernel logs, eth1 is half
duplex.

The machine is a Via/Cyrix C3 on a Biostar M6VLR motherboard. I've
backed off to 2.4.19 + sundance v1.01d, and am hoping it keeps running
until Monday (it's our firewall box, so if you send email to me and
get a "no response after 4 hours, still trying" warning, you know why
:-(). I don't want to have to go into work again to give it the kick
of life.

                                Regards,

                                        Richard....
