[netdrivers] Problem with sundance driver with DFE-580TX

I am having the same problem, but we are able to reset the interface by 
cycling the interface, by bring it down and back up. But that only last 
about a day and we get the timeout again. We are also using kernel 
version 2.6.12. 

I have been digging through kernel source and trying to find a solution, 
but no luck yet.

Hi there,

I'm not sure if I'm posting this to the correct list, so my apologies if
this is the case.

I'm having a reoccuring problem using the sundance driver included with
the 2.6.12 linux kernel. All of a sudden, one port will mysteriously
stop working (pings return 'destination host unreachable'), and a reboot
is required to get the port going again. Other ports seem unaffected.
I've had the card replaced with a new one but this didn't fix the
problem. The card is 32bit, running in a 64bit slot.
