I am seeing this: kernel: vge0: watchdog timeout kernel: vge0: link state changed to DOWN kernel: vge0: link state changed to UP periodically on 6.2-stable on a system running on a VIA EN15000 motherboard. The interface does work, however. I recall much discussion in the fall last year of a similar problem for the bge driver, which I believe resulted in patches for that driver. Is there a general solution for this, or will work be needed for this driver, too? -jr
