[Bug 113254] 2.6.15-28 kernel kills natsemi ethernet w/o promiscuous mode

[Nathan Walp]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-source-2.6.15

When booting into linux-image-2.6.15-28-386 on a 6.06.1 LTS box, the
natsemi ethernet card refuses to see any network traffic, unless I use a
program like tcpdump and turn on promiscuous mode.  If I leave tcpdump
on, I'm able to use the card as normal, but if I turn it off, it stops
functioning again.  Booting with 2.6.15-27-386 works fine.  Below is the
lspci -vv output for the box (when booted in -27).  Let me know if there
is anything else that might prove useful in tracking this down.
