RE: NIC drops all packages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I re-installed the system, network cards are fine (for now).
Kudzu keeps the configuration, the cards work, no dropped packets any more.

BUT - the machine still locks up on me - seems randomly. Sometimes when I
call kudzu. Sometimes when I reboot shortly before or after the drives are
unmounted (don't remember exactly). It does this with and without the NIC
cards. I can't reproduce the behaviour. Will try to run it idle over the
weekend and see if it is still reacting on Monday morning.

Strange, strange...
