I'm having some really odd issues with the networking on this old Intel se7501wv2
The network card onboard is an Intel Corporation 82546EB
I'm getting quite a lot of "[Errno 4] Socket Error: timed out" when I attempt to download updates on this machine.
Other machines on my network do not appear to be plagued with the same disconnect problems.
Not sure what kernel flags I should try, I've tried noht and noapic at the moment.
I've also tried setting the network card to half duplex to see if that helps. ethtool -s eth0 duplex half
No luck so far.

I've got a pair of se7501wv2 kit servers, both dual xeon 2.8Ghz, never had a bit of problem with the networking on them. maybe yours has a bad cable, network port, or even the nic has gone partially flake-o on you?

Upgrade bios to the latest. I've played with these boards since "day 1" almost ... early bioses were such a mess that it often didn't even POST the board if you had *any* card in any pci slot ...

Specifically the WV2 board, or other SE7501 boards? (I have an SE7501CW2 that fails POST with the "insert BIOS recovery diskette" beep code for no obvious good reason.)

Had one like that too, but don't remember the model now. No other choice than send ti back to Intel :(
