Hallo,

on my router which is serving as a gateway for my lan, the adsl connection
is irregularly killed due to the following:
(eth1 is a RTL8139C, kernel 2.4.4pre3, incl. latest rtl8139 driver 0.9.16)

I have heard from some people who had this problem as well but there had
been no real solution to that. Is there some way to debug this, get deeper
to the origin of the problem?
Any help would be FANTASTIC..

Thank you very much,
Axel Siebenwirth
