Hi

Just noticed that reboot with watchdog has a little problem.
If you want to a shutdown -h now it doesn't work because
watchdog will reboot the system again. So shutdown should disable watchdog.

I think voyage orig version (stable version) has the same problem like 
my kernel (2.6.12) ...

Punky: Kernel 2.6.15 still need watchdog to reboot? If so had you ever 
contact to a kernel
maintainer because this problem i.e. what has changed that the old patch 
does not work
anymore, moreover because they have now a "section" to incluse reboot 
patches ...


The other thing is that if have now noticed that if you set the ethernet 
speed to 10Mb, you don't
have 10 time slower network connection but about 170 times slower ...

iperf test from wrap board to an pc over 100Mb ethernet connection 
gives: 55Mbits/s
If you set the speed with
  ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off
  ethtool -s eth0 speed 10 duplex full
you get  332Kbits/sec

Anybody same problems?
