Subject: r8169 vpd r/w failed
Date: Thu, 31 May 2012 13:41:26 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120531174126.GA4189@redhat.com> (raw)
Francois,
We occasionally see reports from r8169 where it seems to hang
reading vpd data from the NIC. The printk in drivers/pci/
suggests it's likely a firmware bug on the device, and recommends the user
contact the vendor for an update (does Realtek even do firmware updates?)
Is this as the message suggests a firmware bug, or should r8169 be
avoiding trying to read vpd ?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827137 is one example.
thanks,
Dave
