Hi Camaleon, Does "ifdown eth0&& ifup eth0" restore the connectivity? Didn't try. If you are running lenny, I would try with an updated updated kernel (if this can be an option at your side) :-? It's squeeze. I have been waiting since 2.6.26 for a kernel fix. I might try 2.6.37. Linux

Hi gurus, using 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation MCP79 Ethernet (rev b1) I have occasional (i.e. occuring about every 6 weeks) hangups of this device. Ping to and from the machine does work, but loss is over 70%. Any hints or workarounds? Regards, Klaus # dmesg |grep -i for
