Hello! I just got some Netxen 10Gbe CX4 adapters and put them into freshly updated Fedora 7 64-bit systems. So far, I am not having much luck.
Kernel is: Official F7 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 NIC: 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: NetXen Incorporated NXB-10GCX4 10 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe Adapter with CX4 copper interface (rev 25) The motherboard chipset is Intel based (I can provide more info is someone cares..but I first wanted to make sure there are no well-known issues.) Interesting boot messages: Jul 5 16:15:17 a440-dc kernel: ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:01:00.0[A] -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16 Jul 5 16:15:17 a440-dc kernel: netxen-nic: unable to allocate MSI interrupt error Jul 5 16:15:17 a440-dc kernel: netxen-nic: XGbE board initialized Is that MSI error fatal? The two NICs are connected by a CX4 cable, and from dmesg output, it appears they have negotiated link properly. However, I see tx counters incrementing on both sides, but no rx counters. I will try the latest 22-pre kernel in the meantime, but if anyone has any experience getting these NICs to work, I'm interested to know about it.
