Hello All,
We have been experimenting a couple of interface hangs with the 8139cp
driver. It appears that the tx buffer stops transmitting and never starts
up again in some yet unknown conditions. To be able to circumvent this we
implemented the missing dev->tx_timeout function which should reset the
interface and allow it work again.
The problem reoccurs quite seldom and we have yet to be able to confirm
that the attached patch helps the situation. We though that we should
submit the patch anyway for reviewing.
The patch is made against 2.6.21.5 kernel.
Seems OK, but I'm definitely interested in hearing test feedback.
Also, all patches need a Signed-off-by line per
Documentation/SubmittingPatches or
