Subject: niu driver - Transmit timed out - 2.6.29
Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2009 13:44:20 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49CB78A4.3020406@krogh.cc> (raw)

Ok. I was just so happy .. (See "Status update on Sun Neptune 10Gbit 
driver earlier).

But then it "blew up" again:

It is fairly hard to reproduce and pops generally up after af few days 
of production. But I am willing to test patches that would help resolve 
this problem as both the niu-driver and the NFSD on 2.6.29 really 
outperforms the 2.6.26-rc4 + nxge driver I'm currently using.

Hardware: Sun Fire X4600, 32GB of memory
