Hello Ragnar,
I've come to the same conclusion as you. I'm trying the Intel driver for
my network card instead of the one that comes with the kernel. There's a
lot of complaints on the "eepro" mailing list about the Intel Pro 10/100+
cards. Lots of workarounds for lock-ups...some issues still unresolved.
I'm hoping that the driver Intel put out resolves these issues. Otherwise
I'm disabling the onboard NIC and I'm going to put another card in
there.
Can someone suggest a rock-solid 10/100 NIC to use? I'm thinking of
getting a tulip or a 3com card.
Cheers, Luc.
