Bug 187415 – hardened-sources-2.6.21-r3 - network downs after a few hours with sundance driver

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Alexander Soloviëv 2007-08-01 18:29:33 UTC]

After a few hours of working (usualy about 10-12) network interface halts until down/up interface again. DMESG reports these lines about interface:

eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame, status 009cc5eb.
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame, status 009cc5eb.
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame, status 009cc5eb.
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame, status 009cc5eb.
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame, status 009cc5eb.
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame, status 0018c5ec.
eth0: Oversized Ethernet frame, status 009cc5eb.

Kernel is 2.6.21-hardened-r3 (just using grsec patches without other stuff). The bug appears after kernel updates after 2.6.21 version. However, with the kernel updating my network configuration has been also changed (mainly, migration from static network settings to DHCP). The bug is always reproducible. Have any ideas ?


Reproducible: Always
