Package: src:linux Version: 4.0.5-1 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. --- The ALX driver drops out with "fatal interrupt 0x400" after a short while. This apparently was known about for a while [1] [2]. I _believe_ this problem was fixed in the newer compat-drivers version [3], which, again if my memory serves, was included as a patch in the 3.16 branch now in stable (I think this closed bug 699129).
I think somehow the ALX driver never got mainlined? I stopped following the story after it got included in the Debian kernel. Was that patch dropped? If this is just a matter of including the staging compat-drivers, it'd be a pretty serious regression for many users if that updated driver was dropped. There is also a workaround, setting a large MTU, described in the references: # ifconfig eth0 mtu 9000 Thanks, Antonio [1] https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70761 [2] https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/44315 [3] http://www.linuxfoundation.org/collaborate/workgroups/networking/alx --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 4.0.0-2-amd64 Debian Release: stretch/sid 450 unstable ftp.us.debian.org 400 testing ftp.us.debian.org 200 experimental ftp.us.debian.org 150 stable dl.google.com --- Package information. --- Package's Depends field is empty.
