Package: kernel-image-2.6.4-i386
Version: 2.6.4-1

... and below, -386 and -686, PIII and PIV (for a self-built 2.4.24-386:
PI...III, Celeron, K6, Duron, Athlon)

First of all some background information:
The AT-2700FX/SC is a fibre optics network adapter with solely one SC
connector.  It works with the linux kernel since about 2.4.19 (original
Woody bootfloppies did not work but i found one a working revision with
a slightly newer kernel (2.4.20?)). The corresponding module is
'pcnet32'. Additionally, Allied Telesyn provides its own driver for
2.4.0 (as driver source). This one was used by others at my institute
who claim that it has problems on its own....

lspci output:
<snip>
02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE] (rev 36)

Everything is working properly until a machine loses network
connectivity, e.g. by unplugging the cable or rebooting the switch.
Then, the only way to get a working network connection again is a
reboot. I tried restarting and reconfiguring networking and removing and
reloading of the kernel module - without success.

Cheers, Jens
