True. But they also have ASF enabled which requires tg3_timer() to send the heartbeat periodically. If the heartbeat is late, ASF may reset the chip believing that the system has crashed. > eth0: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[1] Split[0] WireSpeed[0] TSOcap[0] We'll see if we can do away with the timer-based heartbeat. That's probably the best solution. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
