Created attachment 26629 [details] Dmesg after a 'hang' the driver seems to 'freeze' by not transmitting any further packets - pings or any connection attempts fail, wireshark is not able to capture any passing packets. Bringing the interface down and then up doesn't work, but reloading the driver (modprobe -r sis190; modprobe sis190 ) resolves the problem. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use a network card serviced by the driver 2.Download a lot of data in short period of time (few Gigabytes) Actual Results: Driver stops servicing any further packets. Expected Results: Driver works as normal.

I have the same problem on the same card sis191. Easy way to reprosuce this problem to do something like this: "iperf -c $IP -i 5 -t 100000 -d -P 2" 5-10 sec and network is hangs. After i just need to make reup interface(ifconfig down && ifconfig up) even without reloading driver. Any advices to solve this problem?
