>Description:
I connected my SMC9432TX ethernet card up to the 100Mbps port and i got
these messages just before the card failed. However the card works fine on 10Mbps.
 
 May  7 00:42:45 aphrodite /kernel: tx0: device timeout 16 packets
 May  7 00:42:45 aphrodite /kernel: tx0: can't stop TX DMA
 May  7 00:42:53 aphrodite /kernel: tx0: device timeout 16 packets
 May  7 00:42:53 aphrodite /kernel: tx0: can't stop TX DMA

Straight after boot upo this message will appear always:

tx0: device timeout 1 packets
tx0: can't stop TX DMA

However it will work fine for 1 day or so until it fails.
I must state that i am running a 14 Gig squid cache on a Pentium II 233Mhz with 256 Meg of Ram.  

Noone on the mailing lists have had this problem and i think this might be a bug in the tx driver.

>How-To-Repeat:
Running an ethernet card that uses the the tx driver on 100Mbps will repeat the problem most likely.

unknown
