Question: PCMCIA Problem with 3COM 3C562D/3C563D "eth0: interrupt(s) dropped" 

Forum: PCMCIA Installation and Configuration Issues
Date: 2000, Mar 17
From: John Auld jxa

I have a working install of Linux (tomsrtbt) with networking enabled via PCMCIA services on a laptop. The networking works properly (e.g. I can ping hosts etc.) but the console is over-written with warning message "eth0: interrupt(s) dropped!", which makes the system very hard to use. I have searched for a solution through the PCMCIA and Ethernet HOWTO's and www.dejanews.com with no success. I can't tell if this is a problem with the card configuration or the Net Card driver or what to do to clear it. Your advice would be greatly appreciated. John Auld
