They throw it on the second hand market and sell it via ebay to people like me.... The type of the NIC matches. but at least, this one test misses out :~/tmp/hp> ./ifcheck 00:1f:29:61:0b:25 00:1f:29:61:0b:26 00:1f:29:61:0b:24 00:1f:29:61:0b:27 OK OK OK OK well, but how reliable is this tool??? .... :~/tmp/hp> ./ifcheck th:is:is:bu:ll:sh OK > > Also, I know that some vendors have had EEPROM updates for their branded > Intel NIC Hm... so you agree that a firmare issue _might_ be a plausible cause? So I'll google for either a fw upgrade, or ebay for a Intel branded card, like the first one I have. http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Networking/firmware-for-HP-NC364T-NIC/td-p/4750799#.VQb_mmznHRY The HP card with quirks: root@cruncher:~/hp# ethtool -i eth8 driver: e1000e version: 2.3.2-k firmware-version: 5.12-2 bus-info: 0000:08:00.1 supports-statistics: yes supports-test: yes supports-eeprom-access: yes supports-register-dump: yes supports-priv-flags: no The Intel card which works: root@cruncher:~/hp# ethtool -i eth4 driver: e1000e version: 2.3.2-k firmware-version: 5.10-2 bus-info: 0000:0d:00.0 supports-statistics: yes supports-test: yes supports-eeprom-access: yes supports-register-dump: yes supports-priv-flags: no So the card that works fine has the older firmware. Should I downgrade ??? Can I?? Where to find? HP ? I can confirm this finding: http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/ProLiant-Servers-ML-DL-SL/Firmware-Update-for-nc364t/td-p/4744564#.VQb_nmznHRY I have checked, NC364T does not have firmware available for download on HP site. That probably means, there is not firmware update available for this NIC. Same holds true for Intel & 82571EB firmware next match is - well, that's why I am on this list... http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/82571.c > I don't know if those are very helpful, sorry! No reason to sorrow. Any input from professionals is of value for the lonely fighter :-) Thank you ! I think if it were a common / simple / known issue, this list were the place where people knew about it. If it rings no bell with nobody, I'II have to change the board.
