little hangs after stand by; eth0: Too much work at interrupt, status=0x00ffffff

[dysmann]

When I wake up my computer after the "stand by" mode, I'm experiencing little display hangs about every second.
When I read the output of dmesg, I can see plenty of lines like this one:

[ 5180.581960] eth0: Too much work at interrupt, status=0x00ffffff.

A new line like this appears for every hang.
My workaround is to run: ifconfig eth0 down
And the hang are not anymore.

Then, if I run ifconfig eth0 up, the hang happen again.

I'm running an updated Ubuntu 10.04 system, and here is my lspci output:

Have you tried to reproduce this issue using latest release of Ubuntu Maverick?

[dysmann (dysmann)]

It doesn't seems to happen anymore in Maverick. That's the same system updated from lucid to maverick. Do you know why this happened ?

[Josh (josh-redhat-bugs)]

2.6.38.8-32.fc15 is fairly old at this point. Are you seeing this issue with 2.6.43/3.3?

[Josh (josh-redhat-bugs)]

Fedora 15 has reached it's end of life as of June 26, 2012. As a result, we will not be fixing any remaining bugs found in Fedora 15.

In the event that you have upgraded to a newer release and the bug you reported is still present, please reopen the bug and set the version field to the newest release you have encountered the issue with. Before doing so, please ensure you are testing the latest kernel update in that release and attach any new and relevant information you may have gathered.

Thank you for taking the time to file a report. We hope newer versions of Fedora suit your needs.
