Hi all, I have same problem here with an HP NC6000 with the following broadcom network adapter: 02:0e.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5705M_2 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 03) Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device 0890 Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 Memory at 90000000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] [virtual] Expansion ROM at 6c000000 [disabled] [size=64K] Capabilities: <access denied> Kernel driver in use: tg3 Kernel modules: tg3
Here are my observations: Sometime, the network link still up (ethtool confirm it) but input packages seem discarded... in this case rmmod && modprobe made it... But sometime, the computer completely freezes (either magic sysrq doesn't help)... I saw also that it doesn't depend on packet size but on network bandwidth usage: Full size packet in my lan causes that problem (~100MBPs), whereas full size packet from internet works ok (~3MBPS) MTU still at 1500 (when reducing this value, network is unresponsive) Finally, I saw that sending and recieving packets causes lots of IO (what I mean is that it takes remaining idle CPU). Could it be an IRQ problem ? here is "cat /proc/interrupts": CPU0 0: 404858 XT-PIC-XT timer 1: 4171 XT-PIC-XT i8042 2: 0 XT-PIC-XT cascade 3: 3 XT-PIC-XT 4: 3 XT-PIC-XT 5: 3 XT-PIC-XT 7: 0 XT-PIC-XT parport0 8: 0 XT-PIC-XT rtc0 9: 2099 XT-PIC-XT acpi 10: 39337 XT-PIC-XT ehci_hcd:usb1, uhci_hcd:usb2, uhci_hcd:usb3, uhci_hcd:usb4, yenta, yenta, yenta, rad...@pci:0000:01:00.0 11: 190764 XT-PIC-XT ath, eth0, Intel 82801DB-ICH4 12: 122662 XT-PIC-XT i8042 14: 85470 XT-PIC-XT ata_piix 15: 5669 XT-PIC-XT ata_piix where you can see IRQ 11 shared... wireless works ok. -- tg3 transmit timeout in Intrepid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/294092 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
