Hi,

Attached is a patch that modifies the tx interrupt handling of the nForce nic. It's part of the attempts to figure out what causes the nic hangs (see bug 4552). The change is experimental: It affects all nForce versions. I've tested it on my nForce 250-Gb.

This patch doesn't apply to 2.6.13-rc3:

patching file drivers/net/forcedeth.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 87.
Hunk #2 FAILED at 100.
Hunk #3 FAILED at 135.
Hunk #4 succeeded at 145 (offset -3 lines).
Hunk #5 succeeded at 295 (offset -3 lines).
Hunk #6 succeeded at 305 (offset -3 lines).
Hunk #7 succeeded at 995 (offset -20 lines).
Hunk #8 succeeded at 1502 (offset -87 lines).
Hunk #9 succeeded at 2112 (offset -133 lines).
Hunk #10 FAILED at 2221.
4 out of 10 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file drivers/net/forcedeth.c.rej

I think this is because 2.6.13-rc3 has forcedeth 0.35.

I can't find the patch for 0.35 --> 0.36. (Is this when the netdev archives were in limbo?)

I found the patch for 0.36 --> 0.37 here : http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-netdev&m=112101962422678&w=2

Are the earlier changes a prerequisite, or can I just fix the TX handler rejects manually?

Thanks,
Daniel
