Hello William,

Good news.

Hi Andreas,

I just installed a NIC with the r8169 chipset and tested the ethercat driver (ec_r8169). There is no Oops when doing the /etc/init.d/ethercat start and I get normal kernel messages, so this driver seems fine.

I can probably just use this card and driver for my application but I am willing to help debug the e1000 problem if there is an interest?

You are welcome.

Best regards

Andreas

Wm

Hello William,

Maybe we should talk to Florian,
he has ported the driver.

I think, but I do not know exactly, the ethercat drive generally should not register in the netdev queques.

Normally we check on   "if (adapter->ecdev)"  before.

On the other side, do you have the chance to use a realtek chipset? This chips run very well.

Best regards

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

It does look like a bug. I have traced it to a line in the e1000 driver:
e1000_main-2.6.37-ethercat.c
the e1000_open call works fine up to and including e1000_irq_enable(adapter) but we get the NULL pointer reference in netif_start_queue(netdev);

A snippet from the objdump:
------
    6a28:       8b 40 08                mov    0x8(%eax),%eax
                netif_schedule_queue(netdev_get_tx_queue(dev, i));
}

static inline void netif_tx_start_queue(struct netdev_queue *dev_queue)
{
        clear_bit(__QUEUE_STATE_XOFF, &dev_queue->state);
    6a2b:       8b 83 c0 01 00 00       mov    0x1c0(%ebx),%eax
    6a31:       f0 80 60 08 fe          lock andb $0xfe,0x8(%eax)
--------
It looks like the NULL pointer is used in the clear_bit call but I dont know why the netdev_get_tx_queue() wouldn't return a good value?

I would like to help fix this if possible.

Regards,
Wm

Hello Willam,

please try the generic driver.

The e1000 driver is a little bit tricky, maybe there is a bug.

Best regards

My setup:
  Slackware 13.37
  kernel 2.6.37.6-smp
  ethercat-1.5.1 (configured with --enable-e1000)

I get a kernel Oops when I invoke /etc/init.d/ethercat start.
Sometimes the machine hangs completely other times I can get more details
