I'd like to report a bug on my networking card with the 3c59x driver under 2.4.25. This card has faithfully served me until I did a computer upgrade a few months ago. This upgrade included an nforce2 motherboard and a TV capture card. I believe the DMA? IRQ? of the TV capture card is what induces this problem. It only seems to happen after a dozen hours or so of running the TV capture card. ********************** DMESG and driver info *************** 3c59x: Donald Becker and others. www.scyld.com/network/vortex.html See Documentation/networking/vortex.txt 01:07.0: 3Com PCI 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx at 0xc800.
