> Product: Drivers
> Version: 2.5
> KernelVersion: 2.6.23.1
> Platform: All
> OS/Version: Linux

> I have a problem where I can lock up a number of machines by
> changing the link state on a sis190 Ethernet port. For example, during
> a data transfer such as FTP if I unplug the Ethernet cable and plug it
> back in, the Ethernet interface will stop responding and the machine
> will lock up after a minute or so. This behaviour is repeatable. I have the
> sis190 driver loaded as a module.
>
> I haven't found a kernel version where this doesn't happen. It happens with
> kernel 2.6.20.15, for example.
