Package: bnx2 Version: 2.6.32-5-amd64 Severity: normal
Hi all, on my two Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) servers from HP (ProLiant DL380 G7) I have issues with the on-board Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet adapters: they constantly drop received network packets, and the Cisco routing swtich 4948 is reporting pause frames coming from the network card during this time. I found the exact same bug report description including an upstream fix by David Miller here : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=640026 They increased the ring buffer size as far as I understand. Please find further details concerning the network card and ethtool settings bekow. Kind regards, Joerg. ------------------------ cut ----------------------------------------- root@test-name:~# ethtool -a eth1 Pause parameters for eth1: Autonegotiate: on RX: on TX: on root@test-name:~# root@test-name:~# ethtool -c eth1 Coalesce parameters for eth1: Adaptive RX: off TX: off stats-block-usecs: 999936 sample-interval: 0 pkt-rate-low: 0 pkt-rate-high: 0 rx-usecs: 18 rx-frames: 12 rx-usecs-irq: 18 rx-frames-irq: 2 tx-usecs: 80 tx-frames: 20 tx-usecs-irq: 18 tx-frames-irq: 2 rx-usecs-low: 0 rx-frame-low: 0 tx-usecs-low: 0 tx-frame-low: 0 rx-usecs-high: 0 rx-frame-high: 0 tx-usecs-high: 0 tx-frame-high: 0 root@test-name:~# lspci -v: ---------- 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company NC382i Integrated Quad Port PCI Express Gigabit Server Adapter Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at f4000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32M] [virtual] Expansion ROM at e4100000 [disabled] [size=64K] Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [58] MSI: Enable- Count=1/16 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [a0] MSI-X: Enable+ Count=9 Masked- Capabilities: [ac] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Device Serial Number 68-b5-99-ff-fe-6f-e5-f6 Capabilities: [110] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [150] Power Budgeting <?> Capabilities: [160] Virtual Channel Kernel driver in use: bnx2 ------------------------ cut ----------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
