With e1000e (versions 1.2.20, and 2.1.4) we've noticed that the ethtool selftest fails with a miscompare when the interface is up, but succeeds when it's down:
[admin@oak-sh317 ~]# ifconfig lan0_0 up [admin@oak-sh317 ~]# ethtool -t lan0_0 The test result is FAIL The test extra info: Register test (offline) 0 Eeprom test (offline) 0 Interrupt test (offline) 0 Loopback test (offline) 13 Link test (on/offline) 0 [admin@oak-sh317 ~]# ifconfig lan0_0 down [admin@oak-sh317 ~]# ethtool -t lan0_0 The test result is PASS The test extra info: Register test (offline) 0 Eeprom test (offline) 0 Interrupt test (offline) 0 Loopback test (offline) 0 Link test (on/offline) 0 Is that a known problem? Is a fix known? -- Arthur ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor your physical, virtual and cloud infrastructure from a single web console.
