HI!
I've got a strange problem with ne2000 driver in linux 2.0.xx kernels and cyrix(ibm's) cpu. My hardware: motherboard - FIC pt-2006 with 32mb EDO ( VX based) cpu - ibm 6x86 166+ rev 1.7 ethernet - isa ne2000 compatible (irq 11 io 300) sound - creative sb16 vibra pnp (irq 5, io 220, dma 1,5) modem - com 3, irq 9 modem - com 1 mouse - com 2
linux 2.0.28,29,30 gcc 2.7.2
The problem is: 1. sometimes machine hangs, depends on eth0 traffic I can't determinate exactly whats goes on :( 2. *Always* very slow put on my ftp via eth0 (from 1 to 20 kb/s) 3. Others operation on local netwok are slowed sometimes
What I done already? 1. Changing 6x86 on i-100 solved all problems 2. Changing ne2000 on amd pci-32 (lance) solved my problems too. 3. Different modifications of ne2000(isa) cards changed without any success :(
I think that problem is delays in ne2000 driver or somewhere in kernel. Those delays seems to be broken due loop optimisations in cyrix cpu. I hope that problem will be fixed soon :)
