Sorry, I don't have that info at hand.  Unless you can tell me how to 
look at it from the command line.

Digium's site now lists the Dell 1850 as a potential problem 
server, as it uses the intel ee1000 Ethernet chipset (as do a 
majority of servers in the market!).


To my knowledge, ALL dell servers with Gigabit interfaces now use 
the same chipset. Does this mean the Digium cards can't be used in 
Dell servers unless you disable the onboard ethernet?


I don't want to disable the onboard interface, as I use the IPMI 
management facility for lights-out management. I have a 2850 that 
doesn't have any audio problems (the reason that I contacted Digium 
in the first place), so I'm wondering if Digium are simply guessing 
at problems.


Does anyone know anything specific about the supposed 
incompatibilities with the ee1000 kernel module?



I am not sure where you got that chipset reference but all our 
PowerEdge 1850s come with:

Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82541GI/PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller

...and they work fine with the TE410.



There seems to be an ever-growing list of situations where you 
can't use the Digium cards. This is a concern to me.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] ee1000 Ethernet in Dell 1850

2005-06-21 Thread Adam Robins
I am having this exact problem today. 

I have two Dell 1850's running Asterisk 1.07.  Both had TDM400P cards
running just fine.  I replaced the TDM400P in both machines with TE410P.
Server One works just fine with just a new modprobe. Server 2 does not
even see the card upon reboot.  

Swapped cards between servers, and the problem stayed with Server 2.

Disabled the ee1000 on the Server 2 - still does not see the card.

Now recompiling the kernel with ee1000 module, but am very skeptical.

Why one, but not the other?  Both machines were built by Dell on the
same day and have the same OS (Redhat Enterprise 386 Release 3)

Hmm, i dont think thats the reason they dont recommend the dell server.
The problems with the ee1000 kernel module are easily resolved, compile
the module into the kernel.

I don't believe the problem is Dell servers as much as it is with
underlying linux/digium hardware limitations in terms of pci bus 
advancements, port & dma & interrupt mapping, etc, etc.

99% of the Dell hardware is sold in the Windows market space, and the
linux/digium space isn't exactly on track with the Windows hardware
changes that have occurred.

My experience it's not only Dell servers. I wanted to use a recent Dell
with 2 NICs i.e. the onboard and another, the second card was totally
hidden whichever PCI slot I used. Another Dell had a big red sticker
inside "Do not update the BIOS".

In my days at NCR, people said we were Not Computers Really, I think
Dell is Discover Every Limitation Later.

I've got a PowerEdge 1400SC (old, P4 1gHz, upgradable to dual proc)
that's been a absolute tank.  Got 2 TDM400P's in it and it supports a
very small office with mixed SIP and POTS inbound/outbound.  Running
Debian, of course.

I finally got to confirm the e1000 reference on our systems:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] net]# cat /proc/ioports

0cf8-0cff : PCI conf1
bc00-bcff : ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]
c000-dfff : PCI Bus #05
 c000-cfff : PCI Bus #07
   ccc0-ccff : PCI device 8086:1076 (Intel Corp.)
 ccc0-ccff : e1000
 d000-dfff : PCI Bus #06
   dcc0-dcff : PCI device 8086:1076 (Intel Corp.)
 dcc0-dcff : e1000

But as I said, the TE410 works perfectly under RH ES3.0

Rod:

We just purchased a poweredge 1850 and encountered the conflict with the 
card.  we did get the card and the system working.  however, the solution 
was to disable the onboard nics and use a 3com server nic we had in the 
office.  also, we were not able to use red hat enterprise because of the 
onboard nics.  we are not to pleased with the solution as we wanted to use 
both PCI slots for the te410.  however, one is better than none.


hope this helps.
