Summary: NE1000 driver locks up NetBSD-0.9
PANIC, PANIC, PANIC.
My NE1000 card seems to work fine under NetBSD-0.9. Ping, FTP, TELNET
and even NFS mounts work fine ---- until I start to transfer serious
amounts of data. It transfers about 2 Mbytes without a major problem
and then locks up at the originating side. I have to reboot to fix the
problem (the console doesn't even echo anything anymore). I got a few
"isr 15" messages but they not seem to impact on anything while its
working.
I did read the FAQ and reconfigured (as suggested) the IRQ 2 to
IRQ 5 but then I couldn't even successfully ping the other side.
So I'm back to IRQ 2 and do panic.
I really need to get this going. Please help.
I also tried to slow down the sender (which is the one who locks up) by
doing something like the following:
rsh 192.8.200.1 "(cd abc;tar -xf -|dd -bs=4)" | tar xvf -
with the same result. NFS mounts and FTP also lock up the same way.
