Re: Netgear FA511 on RedHat 7.3

Here's the output from the console when I do "ifconfig eth1 up"
(ethernet plugged in):

kernel: eth1: tulip_open() irq 10.
kernel: eth1: MII link partner 0021, negotiated 0021.
kernel: eth1: interrupt  csr5=0xfc674014 new csr5=0xfc674014
kernel: eth1: exiting interrupt, csr5=0xfc664010
kernel: eth1: Done tulip_open(), CSR0 fff98000, CSR5 fcb64010 CSR6
ff972113
(lockup happens here)

With the cable NOT plugged in, ifconfig doesn't cause anything to be
displayed immediately.  When I plug the cable in (after bringing up the
interface), I get an immediate lockup with no console output.

Continued thanks,
