Hey,

Thank for the answer.  I'have the same matter with bnx2x on rhel6.1 ...

In the H3C documentation there is a subject about vlan (thank to Leland) :
"The default VLAN IDs of the Trunk ports on the local and peer devices
must be the same. Otherwise, packets cannot be transmitted properly."
What did you think about that ?

>From your point of view what will be the best manner to have the thing works
?  I've tested the last driver be2net from Emulex without  success ...
Eventually I can use another linux distribution ?


Thank you in advance

Regards,
