Broadcom BCM5751 gigabit kernel failure, tg3 driver

Anthony Messina amessina at messinet.com
Wed Apr 19 04:37:21 UTC 2006 

i have an up-to-date fc5 install with an onboard gigabit ethernet chip:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751
Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 01)

i have, in the last few days been having the problem where the ethernet
connection dies when i use it at gigabit (default) speeds using the tg3
(default) driver.

i have used this system with fc4 with gigabit speeds and the tg3 driver
with no problems and also with fc5 until april 14 with no problems.  it
is also noteworthy that this lockup seems to happen more frequently when
i use thunderbird 1.5 and seems to happen at random.  sometimes it
occurs right at login; sometimes i can use the system for an hour before
it happens.

i have had to use ethtool to reduce the speed to 100mbit and the problem
resolves.  i would like to use it at 1000mbit again, however.

i do see the line where it says "You probably have a hardware problem
with your RAM chips" but i'm not sure to what this refers.  i do use the
"extended" boot method of the computer that tests ram prior to loading
the os and have not had a problem with those tests.

my kernel is: 2.6.16-1.2080_FC5smp on i686

where do i begin with this one?  thank you all for any help you can provide.
