Under heavy load (ie, downloading tarballs etc as opposed to browsing or irc) dmesg fills up with these messages: b44: eth0: Link is down. b44: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex. b44: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX. Also, ssh sessions cut out with 'Connection reset by peer' error, and downloads often fail at this point. lspci -v output:01:09.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4401 100Base-T (rev 01) Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 8127 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 18 Memory at fe9fe000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8K] Expansion ROM at 20080000 [disabled] [size=16K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 2 I currently have the b44 driver compiled into my kernel. The earliest kernel I've reproduce this with is 2.6.15, though I can go back further if necessary. This is still reproducible with 2.6.20_rc1.
