Could you try disabling ACPI? It certainly seems to make the driver unhappy for some people. Today I disabled ACPI (acpi=off boot parameter) and the B44 driver stopped receiving a few minutes ago after about 12 hours uptime. No kernel message during over 1 hour before the driver "stopped". Next thing I will try is forcing the kernel to enable the local apic which is by default disabled by the BIOS. Probably unrelated, but who knows: I currently get one spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7 per session. How may I find out where it comes from? Here the kernel's interrupt table: CPU0 0: 32749592 XT-PIC timer 1: 50740 XT-PIC i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC cascade 8: 2 XT-PIC rtc 10: 1394293 XT-PIC ehci_hcd, uhci_hcd, Intel 82801DB-ICH4 11: 1764954 XT-PIC uhci_hcd, uhci_hcd, i915@pci:0000:00:02.0, eth0 12: 3404 XT-PIC i8042 14: 442096 XT-PIC ide0 15: 7787 XT-PIC ide1 NMI: 0 LOC: 0 ERR: 1 MIS: 0 Lately the communication broke down completely, or was extremly slow, and activity LED was flashing very much (hi activity). This happened as well under Windows or under BIOS control. Any 100MBit speed triggered this behavior. 10MBit was fine though. Looks like the card does not Like the port of my DLink DES1005D switch it is connected to. For a few days now it's running all right connected to another Port of the Switch, and was working fine on another switch as well. Some Realtec cards work just fine on the give port of the switch though. Any status on this, has the problem been resolved or still there with newer kernels? Thanks. I connected my laptop to the switch in question (2.6.24-rc kernel) but couldn't reproduct the issue (could not reproduce under Windows either) I didn't try all ports on the D-Link switch so might be the "bad" one is one of those I did not try again, unless it's a symptom that builds up over time As I don't connect the laptop to that switch very often (connecting to Cisco Router switchports right now) it's hard to test with randomness in apearance. Note that I got no issue fir a different D-Link switch and the Cisco router I'm connecting to now. |
