[KLUG Members] Odd eth problems.

[Adam Bultman]

Okay:  I'm going insane:

My eth keeps dying.  I'm not sure if it's my kernel, NIC, hubs, or WHAT.  
Here's what happens:

Doing normal stuff:  listening to mp3s, getting mail, ssh, whatever.  
Suddenly, all network stuff dies.  I have to :
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up
route add default gw x.x.x.x

This will restore network for a while. The more traffic I send, the faster 
it goes. This has happened before--  but it stopped, and I haven't had a 
problem in what-- 9 days?  I have no idea what's going on.  I've been 
switching hugs left and right to see what the problem is, but I can't seem 
to find a *good* reason.  It does this both in my 'stock' RH kernel and 
with my own custonm built one.

I dont' get kernel errors.  It just stops.  Period.

Well, I shoudl send this before I lose connectivity again.
