Subject: [networking-discuss] Failing network connection
Message-ID: <73782783.31269773027972.javamail.tweb...@sf-app1>

I've just set up opensolaris 2009.06 svn_111 on an AMD(790FX) machine using a Realtek RTL8111DL NIC (using the rge driver) and I've noticed that the ethernet connection gets severed during data transfers.
I haven't experienced any problems during the occasional access to the network
I did when surfing with firefox, updating packages and so on. But when I
started transferring files from one computer on the network through SMB/CIFS
the connection died right in the middle of the transfer about 15 minutes after
starting it. The transfer was initiated on the other computer (running WinXP
x64 ed).
When I look at the status bar and run commands such as 'dladm show-ether' it shows no indications
of failure, but internet is dead and I cannot ping to or from it. 'netstat -ni' shows that there
are 3 "Oerrs", the rest looks "normal". I can't find any messages in the
/var/adm/messages that are linked to these errors (I'll attach it along with the kstat information
once I manage to revive the connection).
I just I pulled the cable and put it back, the connection came back.
How can I fix this issue? I enclose in the attachment the outputs from netstat
-ni and kstat (NICFailure.txt) and the /var/adm/messages (NICFailure2.txt).
The following two CRs are related to rge hang. They are integrated to snv_131 and snv_132 respectively.
6914906 rge with RTL8169S hangs during test12 of nicdrv Integrate to SNV_132
6906401 rge will hang because of reading corrupted tx descriptors Integrate to snv_131
I suggest you upgrade your system build to fix the problem.
pfexec pkg image_update
Then your system build will be snv_134.
Thanks
Winson
