Eth0 Dropping Out Under Load

Eth0 dropping out under load
Solution ID: 00000063
Created: 9/2/2008
DETAILS:
Customer is running ib0 as cluster and eth0 as user. Under load from du or ls the
eth0 interface goes unresponsive after 10-45 minutes. Sometimes it clears up
after 5 - 10 minutes and sometimes it stays unresponsive. The interface can be
made responsive with the "ethtool -t eth0 online" command.
The solution to the problem was to update the native RHEL4U3 bnx2 driver
(1.4.3b) to 1.7.6c.
