#I have an SMC EtherPower II PCI Ethernet Card, I compiled the driver as a
#module, which works out as epic100.o... The module loads, and network
#operations work to some extent. However when doing something that is fairly
#constant and high-speed, (ie: scp, or ftp) via the LAN at 100MBps the entire
#machine simply reboot, not a warning, OOPS, or log... After this the card
#just keeps blinking. Powering down the machine is the only way to reset the
#card into normal operation, the machine resetting does not fix it. Below I
#have included some system stats that I though could be important, but I have a
#feeling this is a hardware bug in which a workaround needs to be written.

#Linux version 2.2.0-pre6 (root@kor.tkg) (gcc version egcs-2.91.60 19981201
#(egcs-1.1.1 release)) #5 Sat Jan 9 15:35:11 EST 1999

#I will right now compile and try 2.2.0-pre9 however I didnt see any changes
#other then an APM fix that could help this, and that wouldnt explain the cards
#need to power down to operate again. I will also try compiling it as a
#non-module but again, I doubt that is the problem... I hope someone else here
#can run a similar test, it may be important that the card is in 100MBps
#FULL_DUPLEX mode.

I have an identical ethernet card, and I'll try it with the 2.2.0-pre9
kernel tonight.
