I have my computer configured as a firewall with eth1 as the outside interface going to a cable modem, and eth0 as the inside interface going to a hub.
When I first boot up, eth0 (inside interface) fails... from dmesg:
eth0: Autonegotiation failed, using 10baseT, link beat status 70cc.
I do a "/etc/init.d/networking restart" and that fixes it. Doesn't seem right... but it works. Kind of funny considering eth1 is the exact same model NIC and it always works fine... but then again eth1 is using DHCP and eth0 is static.
Also during normal operation I get these kernel timeout errors (as reported by dmesg):
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: PNIC2 transmit timed out, status e4260000, CSR6/7 e0402002 / effffbff CSR12 000000c8, resetting...
This error repeats itself over and over again.
Here's what I'm using:
Distro: Debian Stable (woody)
Kernel: Linux 2.4.26 (custom compiled of course)
NICs: both are Linksys EtherFast 10/100 (LNE100TX) and use the Tulip kernel driver.
Despite the errors, the cards work fine.
Thanks in advance for the help.
