1 | Greetings. |
2 | |
3 | After upgrading the kernel from 2.6.28-gentoo-r3 to 2.6.29, I'm having a weird problem: |
4 | If I make "light" use of the network (ssh, email, http, etc), no trouble. But, if I make "heavy" use of the network (say, copying a few GB from a local NFS server to /dev/null), the network interface stops working almost immediately. ifconfig, mii-tool, the NIC's led, and the switch's LED all say that the link is still up. But, all my connections time out, ping gets no replies, etc. |
5 | (I'm using the via-velocity driver for my motherboard's built-in 1GB NIC.) |
6 | |
7 | Is anybody else seeing anything strange like this? |
8 | (And, now that I've typed up this message, I realize that it could be NFS, or something else, and not the NIC driver... off to test those.) |
