Hello,
I have a 3c905C and get following errors under medium
network loads.
The hub, network, and all other stuff is quite good. Also on same
machine Win2K gave
no problems. When the error occurs, I get transfer speeds of 0.43 Kbps.
I never experienced the
same with Win2K.

*******************Keeps repeating..
After some time the network becomes unusable. The problem is always
reproducible.
I run Kernel-2.4.6-2 on RH7.1 (From Rawhide). Is there any update for
the 3c59x driver for 2.4.x kernels?
