Hi, Just thought I'd mine the collective consciousness and see if anyone has been having the same trouble I'm experiencing. I had to swap motherboards recently because my other one went fubar (I blame solar flares ;-) but my new(er) MSI KT6 Delta FIS2R with an Athlon 3000+, which I bought around the end of 2003, has also been showing weird behavior. When I'm streaming data or (sometimes) making big downloads, the Ethernet connection conks out, so I have to do an ifdown/ifup to get things flowing again (and the connection is often lost in this process). I don't need to reload the driver, which surprises me a bit, it just requires whatever reset that doing ifup/ifdown causes. The interesting thing is that this happens both when I'm using the onboard Broadcom BCM5788 Gigabit adapter (tg3.ko) and my venerable 3c905 Boomerang Fast Ethernet card (3c59x.ko). I guess this is the first board of mine to have an IO-APIC that actually works, so that might have something to do with it. It has a VIA KT600 chipset, which may or may not be A Good Thing(TM). At least there's a good radio station in town now, so my streaming requirements have been reduced dramatically ;-) Anyway, PCI and IRQ listings below, if they're relevant: lspci -v: 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc.
