You should try 2 different things.

1) Get the latest -current and try that. I think some fixes went into
post 4.0 for the nfe(4) driver which might fix your issue.

Sure. Thats the first thing I will do.


2) nfe(4) phy has issues with 10 mbit. You should try 1gbit and make
sure to set the full-duplex mode. I remember havning an nfe(4) system
which whould not work unless I forced mediaopt mode to full-duplex.

Nope.
The card is connected with 1000MBit.

I remembered a problem in the Linux driver which locks the system
when running with 10 or 100 MBit and autonegotiation was set to
off (and duplexmode and speed were set manually). This problem
went away using autonegotiation.

Anyway, I will try the latest -cuurent this weekend.

Troubles with nfe0 and system freezes with MP kernel

2007-02-01 Thread Andreas Maus 

Hi.

Last week I got a fresh system (my old system died)
and so I had to install.

The system is a DualCore AMD64 X2 4600+ with integrated
NVIDIA NICs (nfe0 and nfe1) and build in NVIDIA RAID.
(for details see dmesg below)

The first problem I ran into was the problem with the onboard NICs.
I had to boot about 20 or 30 times to get networking working (read
get a DHCP lease). Usually the network starts, dhclient tries to obtain
a IP address and fails after about  5 sec. with
nfe0: watchdog timeout. I tried the latest CVS snapshot yesterday
(it wasn't that fun to fetch it without a sporadic working NIC) but
the problem remains.

The second problem is the permanent system freeze without any error
(or kernel panic) after some minutes when using the MP kernel.
At first I suspected a borken RAM, but I had no problems building
Gentoolinux from stage1 and memtest reports no error.
Curiously the problem disappears when I boot the vanilla
(read non-SMP) kernel.

I will look for a old 3com card tomorrow and install it so I can
at least fetch the new CVS tree ;)

Is there anyone out there who can point me to a possible solution
of these problems? (A SMP system would be nice but I can live
with the non-SMP kernel but the network issue is driving me nuts ;)

Andreas.
