Sudden Timeout error & rtl8139 problems and the fix...

[James Stevens]

I just tried the line 999 fix and it certainly stops the Tx problem I
was seeing completely. Before, I could re-produce the problem in a
matter of seconds, now I have had the 8139 running for some time at it
is still fine.

THANKS loads, Donald. Now all I need is for you to work the same magic
on the EEPro-100 driver !!!!!

We are pretty keen on building Beowulf systems commercially and would
like to use a small box, e.g. the Mitac Essentia II
(http://mitac.mic.com.tw/products/essentia2000.htm) or the B-Com WinNet
II (http://www.bcom.com.tw/bcomrd/area_winnet.htm). 

The Mitac is a bigger box, but will take a 333xPII. The B-Com is a much
small box, but is only a 200 MediaGX. But both use the Intel 10/100
EEPro (82258). Hence I'd really like the Linux driver to work.

By the way, have you seen the British library's on-line version of the
original Beowulf manuscript at "http://www.bl.uk/diglib/beowulf/" ? You
should really have a link to it from your Beowulf page !
