Hrm, this doesn't make me feel good. I've been getting the eth0: transmit
timed out for quite some time on my central web server, especially at high
traffic points. With the 2.2.17 kernel, it meant that the machine would
disappear from the network until I restarted it. The 2.2.18 kernel solved
this somewhat. I still get the kernel message, but it doesn't kill the
network connection. I was hoping that with the 2.4 kernels this would go
away.
I do have a G4 with a 2.4.7-pre6 kernel (test.mcgill.ca), and so far it
hasn't had the transmit timed out message, but it also isn't getting any
real traffic. So far it is about 95% CodeRed exploit attempts and the rest
are either netcraft surveys or script kiddies looking for other NT
bunglings.
Cheers,
Chris
