Again, for the archives, this problem is sadly still here. Although it appears to happen a little less frequently with the driver from HEAD. It seems it might be some issue specific to power savings, as LINUX users seem to have the same issues

Hi Jack, Two quick notes about the new driver. On the server that was having nic lockups, so far so good. Saturday AM, the box would take a lot of level0 dumps as well as do about 70Mb/s of outbound rsync traffic. By now, the nic would have wedged at least once So far so good!

The NIC has 5 MSIX vectors and can have 2 queues, I have been trying to release code with both queues active, but its been unstable, I finally concluded its not worth the aggrevation :) Your em1 is using MSI not MSIX and thus can't have multiple queues. I'm not sure whats broken from what you

I believe the requirement of a context descriptor for most frames in the igb driver is just the way the hardware works, I've looked over the Linux driver again and it looks like they require the same. I don't believe its a big deal, just the added descriptor for the frame. Jack On Tue, Aug 17,

The guy who worries about the Linux driver's performance is in my team, and he's a very good engineer, and we're talking about the hardware's DMA, so its not an OS issue, thus I'm not saying I'm sure, but I'm dubious about this, at least when we're talking about igb. But hey, I'm willing to be
