Just read the mail from Nikita, about fixeep-82573-dspd.sh. Running the script returns - No appropriate hardware found for this fixup.
Knowing full well that doing the following could render my card useless, void the warranty .... I modified the script to return true for the model I have. Running iperf with a total of 128 inbound connections with a -t of 6000 a few times has not broke anything. Looks like this script may have fixed things. Iptraf was showing consistent 80,xxx kbit/s Here's an eeprom dump (after the script was ran) ethtool -e eth0 Offset Values ------ ------ 0x0000 00 0e 0c c2 82 04 10 02 ff ff 00 10 ff ff ff ff 0x0010 60 d2 03 00 0b 64 76 14 86 80 7c 10 86 80 85 b2 0x0020 dd 20 55 55 00 00 90 2f 00 32 12 00 20 1e 12 00 0x0030 20 1e 12 00 20 1e 12 00 20 1e 09 00 00 02 00 00 0x0040 0c 00 a6 93 0b 28 00 00 00 04 ff ff ff ff ff ff 0x0050 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 02 06 0x0060 00 01 00 40 16 12 07 40 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff 0x0070 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff d4 19 If that doesn't show up correctly http://pastebin.ca/1822468 Here's an ethtool -S ethtool -S eth0 NIC statistics: rx_packets: 102700084 tx_packets: 72630664 rx_bytes: 136903466843 tx_bytes: 44351377340 rx_broadcast: 3743 tx_broadcast: 93 rx_multicast: 0 tx_multicast: 6 rx_errors: 0 tx_errors: 0 tx_dropped: 0 multicast: 0 collisions: 0 rx_length_errors: 0 rx_over_errors: 0 rx_crc_errors: 0 rx_frame_errors: 0 rx_no_buffer_count: 3 rx_missed_errors: 0 tx_aborted_errors: 0 tx_carrier_errors: 0 tx_fifo_errors: 0 tx_heartbeat_errors: 0 tx_window_errors: 0 tx_abort_late_coll: 0 tx_deferred_ok: 2 tx_single_coll_ok: 0 tx_multi_coll_ok: 0 tx_timeout_count: 0 tx_restart_queue: 821779 rx_long_length_errors: 0 rx_short_length_errors: 0 rx_align_errors: 0 tx_tcp_seg_good: 1573008 tx_tcp_seg_failed: 0 rx_flow_control_xon: 2 rx_flow_control_xoff: 2 tx_flow_control_xon: 71929941 tx_flow_control_xoff: 71896901 rx_long_byte_count: 136903466843 rx_csum_offload_good: 102696253 rx_csum_offload_errors: 0 alloc_rx_buff_failed: 0 tx_smbus: 0 rx_smbus: 0 dropped_smbus: 0 Another pastebin link for the above http://pastebin.ca/1822475 If you need anymore hardware information to update that script, let me know. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
