- Using Fedora 12. - Linux 2.6.31.5-127.fc12.x86_64 #1 SMP Sat Nov 7 21:11:14 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux - Tried switching pci slots, cables, ports, ethtool in different autoneg/1000/100 configs using all other known good hardware. - Upgraded to latest e1000-8.0.18 driver from intel, same exact behavior... no arp/ping packets in or out. Intel claims they support 2.6.31 kernel, driver compiles fine. Does anyone have experience with getting this GigE adapter working? Is it likely a defective card, or is this a problem with Fedora 12? # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1B:21:51:BB:08 inet addr:10.0.1.4 Bcast:10.0.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::21b:21ff:fe51:bb08/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) # ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 1000Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: umbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000007 (7) Link detected: yes # dmesg e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog_task: NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX/TX e1000: eth0: e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx Unit Hang Tx Queue <0> TDH <1> TDT <1> next_to_use <1> next_to_clean <0> buffer_info[next_to_clean] time_stamp <10006933e> next_to_watch <0> jiffies <100069a3e> next_to_watch.status <0> e1000: eth0: e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx Unit Hang Tx Queue <0> TDH <1> TDT <1> next_to_use <1> next_to_clean <0> buffer_info[next_to_clean] time_stamp <10006933e> next_to_watch <0> jiffies <10006a20d> next_to_watch.status <0> e1000: eth0: e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx Unit Hang Tx Queue <0> TDH <1> TDT <1> next_to_use <1> next_to_clean <0> buffer_info[next_to_clean] time_stamp <10006933e> next_to_watch <0> jiffies <10006a9dd> next_to_watch.status <0> e1000: eth0: e1000_clean_tx_irq: Detected Tx Unit Hang Tx Queue <0> TDH <1> TDT <1> next_to_use <1> next_to_clean <0> buffer_info[next_to_clean] time_stamp <10006933e> next_to_watch <0> jiffies <10006b1ad> next_to_watch.status <0> e1000: eth0: e1000_watchdog_task: NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX/TX # lspci -s 04:09.0 -vvv 04:09.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 05) Subsystem: Intel Corporation PRO/1000 GT Desktop Adapter Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- DisINTx- Status: Cap+ 66MHz+ UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR- INTx- Latency: 32 (63750ns min), Cache Line Size: 32 bytes Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 17 Region 0: Memory at fdbc0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Region 1: Memory at fdba0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Region 2: I/O ports at 9c00 [size=64] Expansion ROM at fda00000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI+ D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot+,D3cold+) Status: D0 NoSoftRst- PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=1 PME- Capabilities: [e4] PCI-X non-bridge device Command: DPERE- ERO+ RBC=512 OST=1 Status: Dev=00:00.0 64bit- 133MHz- SCD- USC- DC=simple DMMRBC=2048 DMOST=1 DMCRS=8 RSCEM- 266MHz- 533MHz- Kernel driver in use: e1000 Kernel modules: e1000 -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
