Here is my dmesg output: tg3.c:v3.59 (June 8, 2006) ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:02:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 169 PCI: Setting latency timer of device 0000:02:00.0 to 64 eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95721) rev 4001 PHY(5750)] (PCI Express) 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet 00:16:17:2a:a8:4d eth0: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] Split[0] WireSpeed[1] TSOcap[1] eth0: dma_rwctrl[76180000] dma_mask[64-bit] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:04:06.0[A] -> GSI 19 (level, low) -> IRQ 185 eth1: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95705A50) rev 3003 PHY(5705)] (PCI:33MHz:32-bit) 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet 00:16:17:2a:a8:4c eth1: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] Split[0] WireSpeed[0] TSOcap[1] eth1: dma_rwctrl[763f0000] dma_mask[64-bit] audit(1154348602.046:4): avc: denied { create } for pid=953 comm="udevd" name="watchdog" scontext=system_u:system_r:udev_t: ethtool output Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Half 1000baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 100Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 1 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on Supports Wake-on: g Wake-on: d Current message level: 0x000000ff (255) Link detected: yes [ The sympton is that sometimes the network is down we cant ping the network device anymore. Also from a shell we cant ping the outside world. We can still ping the ipnr of the network device itself. A restart of the network using /etc/init.d/network restart does the trick and the device works again. I dont think this is related to the TSO problem reported earlier because I believe its disabled by default. Any clues, help would be appreciated. Please let me know if I need to provide additional debug info. thanks,regards -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/tg3-driver-timeout-problems-tf2254084.html#a6252031 Sent from the netdev forum at Nabble.com.
