Is your `latest git` from Linus or net-next tree? All of our latest patches go into net-next, so if you haven't already - give it a try and see if it resolves your issue. > > One thing what was common, when it works, I get this line a little > time before dhclient start working: > > eth0: IPv6 duplicate address fe80::219:d1ff:fe00:5f01 detected! I have a system with the same device ID (it is not the same board) and could not reproduce any issues with DHCP on 2.6.35.6 kernel. Aside from checking the latest net-next tree, there are some other things to look into: 1. Is AMT enabled - there is usually a manageability tab/option in the BIOS. If you have that option try enabling/disabling it and see if it makes a difference. 2. Make sure your BIOS is up to date. If any of the above does not help your situation please file a bug at e1000.sf.net and include the following information: 1. lspci -vvv 2. ethtool -e eth0 3. there is a tool call ethregs which you can download from this site. If you can include the output of ethregs -s 00:19.0 4. kernel config 5. anything that you think may be related - like setup, type of traffic etc. Thanks, Emil ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev _______________________________________________ E1000-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/e1000-devel To learn more about Intel® Ethernet, visit http://communities.intel.com/community/wired
