e100_wait_exec_cmd && e100_wait_exec_simple: Wait failed

[Richard Ems]

Hi Andrea, hi list!

Using SuSE's 8.0 default kernel (k_deflt-2.4.18-58):

Intel(R) PRO/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter - Loadable driver, ver 1.8.37
...
eth0 e100_wait_exec_cmd: Wait failed.
...
last message repeated 23 times
last message repeated 34 times
...



And using SuSE's k_deflt-2.4.18-186:
Intel(R) PRO/100 Fast Ethernet Adapter - Loadable driver, ver 2.0.30-k1
...
eth0 e100_wait_exec_simple: Wait failed
...
last message repeated 8 times
last message repeated 25 times
...

I also had machine hangs with both drivers during heavy network load.
Could these hangup's be related to the driver's "error"? Or is it just a 
  "warning"?


from lspci -vvv:

Do you need any more information?

I'm probably not the best person to handle these reports. You should
report to linux.nics@intel.com (CC'ed), they are the authors of the e100
driver.

Until a fix is available I would suggest to try to use the original
linux eepro100 driver and see if the machine hangs goes away that way.

thanks,

Andrea
