Hello

I have the common problem (as I noticed) that 3c905b 10 MBs  (3c59x.o) is
freezing under heavy load.
the message after it freezes is
eth1: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e000.
or
eth1: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e001.


from time to time it send a difernet message
eth1: Interrupt poted but not delivered -- IRQ blocked by another device?

but after
relaoding the module it start working again.

kernel is 2.2.13 3c59x.c is v0.99L
it is SMP dual procesor 100MHz.
It is old dell poweredge SP5 100-2.
secondary level cache is not there......
