Hi!
I've been experiencing less-than-optimal throughput when using 2.4 and
2.5 kernels with my 3Com Corporation 3CCFE575CT Cyclone CardBus NIC.
I've been playing with the 3c59x.c driver and have found the following
errors logged on the kernel ring when doing large file transfers, using
either FTP or NFS:
eth0: vortex_error(), status=0xe081
This error is logged multiple times, and I would say it's logged at
constant rate. I think some kind of hardware/software interaction is
causing my outgoing rate to be no more than 4MB/s, while the incoming
rate is nearly perfect at 12MB/s approximately.
This is reproducible with RedHat's Rawhide kernel 2.4.20-1.1988 and the
whole 2.5 series (since 2.5.60, if my memory serves me well), so I would
say this s indeed a 3c59x.c or a hardware problem.
The "0xe081" status means, as per the 3c59x.c sorce code:
"IntLatch", which I assume it means an interrupt happened and the ISR
was invoked, so I think it's normal this flag to be set.
"StatsFull", which I don't what does this mean, but I think it's the
cause of the error. What does this mean?
I've been unable to guess what the other three bits, corresponding to
"0xe000" mean.
This is an extract of the driver debug messages logged while loading the
3c59x.ko module:

Didn't we decide that was a tx underrun?
It could be that the polled-tx code in the pcmcia-cs package works around
it somehow.
Please test Donald Becker's driver under 2.4, from
