Does anyone have some tips for setting up Broadcom's 802.3AD support or just getting their driver compiled / installed? First off, I noticed redhat claims the broadcom bcm5708 driver has been added to the rhel4 kernel. But I don't see /proc/net/nicinfo which broadcom claims the driver creates when it's successfully initialized. So, I'm trying to build the driver based on the

Hi, I''ve run into the same issue as: http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-07/msg00599.html In that, running the network bridge script kills networking completely, trying to ping the gateway gives me destination host unreachable.

Hello, I''ve this strange problem. When Xen kernel start and it try to start eth devices, network doesn''t work. It seems to be a problem with NICs firmware. Anyone had this problem? Do you know where I can download firmware upgrade? (on DELL''s site I''ve just searched...) Thanks, Carlo No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Hi, I hope someone can help me, I cannot seem to get a system's ethernet interface to correctly work in promiscuous mode... I have a Centos 6.4 system with 2 bnx2 interfaces on it. I have set up eth1 in promiscuous mode and am sending traffic to it using the port mirroring configuration on a Nortel 3510-24T switch. The switch reports that it is sending a fair amount of traffic to the

I installed 64-bit xen 3.1.0 (from xensource.com tarballs) on three new machines today, using a configuration setup that I''ve used successfully many times before. However, I encountered a new problem.

I have a new x3655 IBM and whenever the /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge script starts, the ethernet would no longer work. This post isn''t about the cause, but the fix. I did a lot of tcpdumps and Googling, but I''ll spare you that. All they do is prove that yes, there is an issue. :) I tried Debian 4.0 i386/amd64 and Ubuntu 7.04 Server i386/amd64 and they all exhibit the

Hi, I have a Dell PowerEdge 1950 with two NICs Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T. I installed CentOS 5.1 and Xen 3.0.3 (RPM). One of my virtual machines has Windows 2003 Server. In this virtual machine my NICs appears like "Realtek RTL8139 Family PCI Fast Ethernet NIC". The problem is that when I ping to other machines sometimes the reply time value is very high: C:>

Hello all. We recently purchased HP Proliant DL380 G7 server and also a HP Lefthand P4500 G2 24TB iSCSI box. The server itself has Quad Ethernet based on the BCM5709 Chipset from Broadcom (NetXtreme II). My main question is about iSCSI offload mechanism, as iSCSI itself is pretty new to me but I have gotten a good hold on it tho. I have managed to setup and configured our Lefthand box into

I totally agree with Luc Boudreau about this problem. On modern branded server they ALL use Broadcom chipset... I must admit that: a) lot of people are experiencing the problem but can tolerate it or b) someone already experienced this problem and solved it Lets'' approach the problem pragmatically... just start with a survey on the list. ... hope we solve this issue soon.

I have a broadcom bcm5722 and a dual intel pro/1000 pt nic in a dell t110. The setup sees the cards and i put them into automatic mode. After the install no cards are detected at all. Astaro 8.01 detects and utilizes all of these cards just fine. I have also tried ubuntu server 10.04 lts and they work fine. I'm curious if this is a bug with Centos 6?

Has anyone managed to get CentOS 6 x86_64 running on a server with a Broadcom NetXtremeII BCM5709 network adaptor? If so have you seen any issues with the network freezing? On booting everything works fine then the network will just stop - can't ping anything. If we manually restart the network service it will run again for a few seconds/minutes before hanging again. We have even installed the

Hi Well we are now using HP instead of Dell and have hit a major hurdle. We dont seem to be able to kix any of these boxes. I have been most recently trying on a dl585 and the issue appears to be that the kix kernel does not detect any nic. Its strange as the box can be installed using iso's and the nic appears as eth0: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5706 1000Base-T (A2) PCI-X 64-bit 100MHz
