Hi,
ASL 3.2 worked fine on my box. After upgrading to ASL 4.009, both NICs show the same timeout problem, esp. under high load:
Aug 11 18:53:54 (none) kernel: eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e000.

Both NICs are 3COM 905C-TX (Tornado):

Hardware: HP Netserver E200, P1000, VIA-Chipset (Apollo MVP3/Pro133x/694X) , 256 MB RAM, AHA 2940 SCSI-Controller, 2x 3C905C NIC, 1x Intel Ethernet Pro 100 NIC (unused), ATI 3D Rage IIC, no shared interrupts
Both NIC types are marked as tested in the ASL4 HCL. Any idea of how to get rid of those disturbing timeouts is welcome.
