Hi To all,

Also problem with Via-rhine but not like the problem explained here.
It's an verry strange problem.
Running with 2.6.(0-7)-vanilla and compiled via-rhien as internal driver or as 
external module shows the same error, the server frezzes and won't respond on 
any request only way to get it work again is to reboot. The only thing I know 
is when sending and recieving constanly data e.g. reading mail with IMAP or 
doing ftp transfere chrashes the system without any Log entry. For the reason 
that this is a server hostet by an ISP i can't see any console output (if 
any). So the ony thing that work for me is to build 2.4(x) with one single 
module from VIA directly RHINE-FET.o whith this driver the NIC is initialised 
correctly and the server works reliable. Testet Time (Max Uptime) was 120 
Days. with the via-rhine in 2.6 and 2.4 the server chrashes every 1 - 5 days.
