Just installed Redhat 7.3 on an Athlon 2000 system (2.4.20).
We have a 3c905c network card, and when I try copying files from an nfs
mount I get this in the logs:

Mar 12 13:15:11 ark kernel: eth0: Resetting the Tx ring pointer.
Usually the machine freezes up after this, and I can't ping it, and when I
press
CTRL-ALT-DEL i get "INIT: cannot execute "echo"" and have to hit reset.
However this last time the machine came back after about 3 secs of no
network activity.
Now I was looking at some info on google, and people said to turn off
IO-APIC
in the kernel, but this was for 2.4.5, has this been fixed in 2.4.20?
Cheers
Dave
