Hello Currently the FA310-cards are installed. The mobo is the last versio of Abit BE6-II, (with a PIII 850MHz). It starts with the message: "dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state", then the "dc0: watchdog timeout" messages starts showing up. PnP is disabled in BIOS. From dmesg I have: dc0: <82c169 PNIC 10/100BaseTX> port 0xc400 - 0xc4ff mem 0xd3402000 - 0xd34020ff irq 11 at device 9.0 on pci0 dc0: Ethernet address: 00:a0:cc:d5:b2:e3 dc1: <82c169 PNIC 10/100BaseTX> port 0xc800 - 0xc8ff mem 0xd3403000 - 0xd34030ff irq 5 at device 11.0 on pci0 dc1: Ethernet address: 00:a0:cc:d5:dd:c8 Thanks for a quick reply.
