Multiport NICs and ether channel?

2001-02-16 Thread Willis L. Sarka

Greetings,

Just a general question or two.. Please point me to a URL or tell me where
to RTFM, or answer back ;-).

What is the status/condition of using muliport NICs  and bonding
them together to form a larger pipe (i.e. a quad channel ethernet card for
an Intel box, bonding all four interfaces together to get a theoretical
400Mbps pipe)?  Are there any highly recommended cards of this type?  Will
the bonding work when connected to a Cisco catalyst switch with ether
channel?

Again, thanks in advance.  If you need any further info, or if I need to
describe something in greater detail please let me know.

Cheers,
Will Sarka

[BUG] Hard lockup using emu10k1-based sound card

2000-11-13 Thread Willis L. Sarka

I get a hard lockup when trying to play a mp3 with XMMS;
Sound Blaster Live card.  The first second loops, and I lose all
connectivity to the machine; I can't ping it, can't to a an Alt-Sysq,
nothing.

Details:

running RedHat 7.0
using kernel 2.4.0-test11pre4
emu10k1 compiled as a module
system is a Dell Dimension 4100 (815e based, 512mb ram, 3com 3c905c cardA)

I'll try to compile in soundcore and emu10k1 into the kernel, foregoing
any modules and see if that helps.  I will also revert back to
2.4.0-test10 as well just to test.  If anyone needs further information,
let me know.

Thanks,
Will Sarka

Network connectivity /w 2.4.0-test9 ?

2000-10-06 Thread Willis L. Sarka

Greetings,

I just compiled kernel 2.4.0-test9 on my old HP Vectra 486/25NI.  I have
three 3c509 Etherlink III cards installed, and was wanting to play around
with netfilter on this box.  All of the cards are recognized and
configured on a stock RH 7.0 install, and I can ping other hosts on the
same subnet.

My first question is that I have compiled in 3c509 support into the
kernel, and supplied the appropriate append= line to lilo.conf, but yet,
the kernel is still only initializing 2 cards out of 3.  Perhaps I'm doing
someting wrong, if so, please let me know.

Even with the 2 cards that _do_ initialize and come up, I can then not
ping another host on the same subnet.  Again, perhaps I'm missing
something and someone can enlighten me :-).  I have some tcpdump output of
this host trying to ping another host on the same network.  I've included
the tcpdump output, my kernel config, and some other info below for
completeness.
