Using 8.0.3.1-NAPI, I get the same results.
Some further observations: When ethtool reports that the port is down, the LED on the card is still on, and the link partner is showing that the port is up. I have tried it both with and without autoneg, at full duplex and at half duplex. (I'm not using Gigabit, only 10M and 100M) No difference. It is more prevalent when I put more traffic through it. Occasionally I get the TX_unit_Hang messages. (I thought this was fixed long ago?) Any further diagnostics I can provide? -----Original Message----- From: Brandeburg, Jesse [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 28 August 2008 4:22 AM To: Leigh Sharpe Cc: e1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: RE: [E1000-devel] Port showing link down at random times Leigh Sharpe wrote: >> what does ethtool -i eth13 say? > > > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ethtool -i eth13 > driver: e1000 > version: 7.1.9-k4-NAPI > firmware-version: N/A > bus-info: 0000:08:0b.0 > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ > > >> also, can you tell us if you see the Intel AMT bios pre-boot screen >> come up? > > No pre-boot screen. > > I'll have a go at the new driver and let you know. oh, my mistake, you don't need e1000e for this device, because you're running an 82546 you can try e1000-7.6.15.5 from sourceforge, no configuration changes necessary, it will probably run both your 82546 and 82566. after that release we split the PCIe support into a new driver, e1000e, and the pci support stayed in e1000 Since I think you have an 82566 also, if you upgrade to e1000-8.X please see http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=125331&group_id=4230 2 as your 82566 hardware will be supported by e1000e and 82546 by e1000.
