Hi
Recently one computer of mine has some problems with the network
adapter.
The adapter is a 3Com900 , connected to a cisco switch. The 3c59x module
of kernel 2.2.17 is used.
In the last couple of days the adapter has needed some manual
resets. Looking at the logs, I saw occasional "eth0: transmit timed
out error".
Most of the times there was "tx_status 00 status e000", but sometimes
the status was f000.
At a first glance this looks like some sort of hardware problem, resulting
with the card unable to transmit frames and forced to drop some. But
anyway: what do those error code mean? where can I find a a reference?
Thanks
