Our ASL have five NIC's. (2x3C905-TX, 1xIntel EtherPro 100, 2xRealtek). After having some problems where the firewall was unaccessible for a few seconds aproximately every 15th minute, we decided to try and replace the realtek cards with intels identical to the one we already had. As the realtek driver doesn't exactly have a good reputation, we figured it was worth a try.
I replaced the cards today, and now the problem is even worse. The box goes totally dead for aprox 3 minutes every 5th, then come back online for another 5..
Any ideas?
It's a pentium 3 1GHz with 1 gig ram. /proc/loadavg and /proc/meminfo doesn't show anything special before the net disappear. The net-drivers are e100 and 3c59x.
Why isn't dmesg, uptime, top, free etc included in ASL btw?
