I've got a Pentium/120 with a PCI-bus Linksys LNE100TX card, and heavy
network loading in the inbound direction - whether FTP put/get or NFS -
makes the card die. The whole machine has stopped working once, and one
time eth0 disappeared completely (didn't show up in ifconfig but showed up
in the admin tools) after a reboot - it reappeared after I left the machine
off for a few minutes. Most recently, it would periodically stop working
during a big FTP put coming from another machine, but the put would resume
after I cycled eth0 down and up again (although it screwed up the file in
the process).
FWIW, this is Caldera eServer 2.3 with kernel 2.2.14, and the card is
running in 10mbps mode.
Does this sound like a broken card, or is there a chronic problem with the
LNE100TX?
