Several days ago my father called me and said that it does not send anything (tcpdump shows only rx'ed pkts despite pings being attempted etc). I did not investigate then. Yesterday I've seen it myself. I bumped up ethtool msglvl. Looks like via-rhine's hard_start_xmit was not called at all from network core code! (I did not see debug printks from rhine's hard_stat_xmit routine) Whatever I tried (ifconfig down/up, reinit IP config from scratch), nothing helped. No tx whatsoever was attempted by kernel, it seems. Reboot 'fixed' things. It hever happened on the same hardware before I switched to rc5. -- vda
