That's not normal operation for a network interface card. You have a
problem with the setup of the card, the cable, or the hub.
Try this and see if you get any lost packets:
ping -c 500 <your_ip_address>
This should ping your network interface 500 times. You should see NO lost
packets.
HTH,
Merry Xmas

Subject: eth0 switching off
Hi people..
Merry xmas to all..
I've got a question.. how do i prevent my eth0 from switching
off ever a few minutes? I connected it to a hub.. and after a few
mins i loose link light.. but the connection does not die.. then
when i start using the connection again it takes a few before it
responds.. and once it does i have link light again as well.
Any idea how i prevent this from happening on an idle connection
- i dont want to resort to a keep-alive-ping
Jasper
