[ASUS M2N68-AM SE2/nvidianet.device] AROS loses network connection, "no buffer space available"

[deadwood2]

This is a bug report specific to nvidianet.device on ASUS M2N68-AM SE2, derived from this bug:

#132

[ncafferkey]

This has been observed on the ASUS M2N68-AM SE2 motherboard, which has MCP61 Ethernet (10de:03ef). The original M2N68-AM, with MCP67 Ethernet (10de:054c), seems unaffected.

The bug can typically be reproduced quickly by a ping flood: e.g. ping -f google.com

@ncafferkey just checking whether you had any chance to look at this issue on SE2 motherboard?

I looked into obtaining an affected board for testing, or another board with MCP61, but I didn't find one.

Please send me your delivery address then I will send you this motherboard. I have 3 such motherboards, so I will be happy to get rid of one :) My email: andrzej(at)subocz.pl

@ncafferkey FYI, ABIv0 is in process of being rebased to latest master (and thus latest kernel). You can find temporary backup branch here: https://github.com/deadwood2/AROS/tree/backup-alt-abiv0-D08
