@Wolfgang

The same her, thanks a lot.

In fact a month ago we discovered a problem with the previous isa driver but were not
able to reproduce it.

Last Friday during a test run we got the same problem and with some further tests I
was able to reproduce and started with some investigation.

So the patches came in quite handy and even not to waste time I was applying the
patches to an updated svn tree but had to do some manual corrections to get it
compiled.

So far the driver is functioning quite good and I was hoping that our problem would
be solved as well.

But unfortunately that is not the case and it would be great if somebody would have
an idea or similar experience and maybe a solution.

In use:
ISA card: B&R with CC770 (40007) Series Bosch CAN Controller - LQFP-44
Kernel: 2.6.39.4
Module: modprobe cc770_isa irq=0xa port=0x384 indirect=1
Commands: ip link set can0 up type can bitrate 500000;ip link set can0 txqueuelen 2000

dmesg:

Description of problem:
After a while sending quite some telegrams the driver of a sudden stops transmitting
and the queue is running full but still capable to receive telegrams.
This issue is not depending on the amount of transmitted telegrams and also no logfile
entries.

Further it is possible to recover with ip link set down and up again.
