Please attach a full copy of your dmesg. Thanks :)

(In reply to comment #2) > Created an attachment (id=224949) [details] > as requested > Do you have a dmesg log with the "increased tx threshold" lines in it as well? If not, are you _absolutely_ sure that there is nothing useful between the end of the log file that you gave me and the start of the "increased tx threshold" messages? If you are not sure, please reproduce your problem and attach a new dmesg log.
after it have runned since without any increased tx threshold in logs now i belive its just the way it works this driver, some sort of autoconfig ? if so i would like to know if it can be minimized when reboot to not be that long to get the right tx value set in sysctl or in driver parms from reboot i will still let it be monitored here so i can report if it would hit still after 24 hours of rebooting the card is a lan1641 with 4 nic on one single pci card ( http://soekris.eu/shop/lan_boards_en/ )
So, how is it going? Did the "increased tx threshold" messages stop appearing?
its last seen on my lan interface the 21 mar, and 17 mar on the wan interface so it here seems it stabalize over time, and i have not seen the same problem with other drivers, just still unsure if its my own fault :(
Ok, feel free to reopen if this problem still exists.
