similar to: networking problem with Xen and Broadcom tg3 rev 10

Dear All, I am having a HP xw4400 with following ethernet controller as reported by lspci Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5755 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02) This machine was running CentOS 5.2 without any problem. After updating the machine with yum update on 8 April, after which it is showing to be CentOS 5.3, this machine stops communicating

Hi: I have a problem with XEN and networking on a AMD Turion64 laptop. The network interface is a Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5751M PCI express. I have the problem on both RHEL5 and SUSE SLES 10 but I am troubleshooting it on RHEL. When I run the standard kernel, the eth0 interface works absolutely fine with either DHCP or a static IP address. When I boot the XEX kernel, eth0 fails to

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. Ivan

Greetings: I know it's been mentioned before that the tg3 driver in CentOS 3.4 is buggy. I had to revert to 3.4 today from 4 (fresh install) and now I have no link and thus no network. I'm wondering if this is caused by this bug and what the work-around is. Thanks. Brendon Colby

Hi all, I'm testing on debian/unstable SR-IOV feature with Broadcom BCM57810 cards and KVM hypervisor: Compiled against library: libvirt 1.2.1 Using library: libvirt 1.2.1 Using API: QEMU 1.2.1 Running hypervisor: QEMU 1.7.0 bnx2x -> firmware 7.8.17 -> driver from kernel 3.12.7 8 VFs are created on the first PF.

Did the latest Centos4.x kernel break the ability to tcpdump with any amount of traffic? Machines that used to be able to keep up now show a few packets and stop - if you hit ^C they take a minute or so to do anything, then show something like: 54 packets captured 18188 packets received by filter 18070 packets dropped by kernel Before recent updates I almost never saw packets 'dropped

Good morning. I am trying to do a dhcp/pxelinux network install for redhat linux. I have a new Dell computer with a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gibabit controller. I am getting the following errors: Getting Kickstart file. ASSERT: no network device in ChooseNetworkInterface No network drivers for doing kickstart unable to bring up network. I've searched this lists archives for the word ASSERT

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 all, Currently we have severe problem and are struggling to investigate it. The problem is data broken. Reproduce pocess is following, 0. test FTP function between guest domain and FTP client(other PC). 1. put data from FTP client to guest domain. 2. get data from guest domain to FTP client. 3. compare put data and get data on FTP client. 4. repeat process from step1 to step3.

Hello, I've got a very strange problem. Lately I've been setting up my linux servers for network (layer2) redundancy with a bridge interface containing two ethernet interfaces connecting to two switches. So far I didn't have any problems with it, but now a very strange thing happens with a new server I'm installing. The server is an ibm x346 having two onboard BCM5721 cards, 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.

Hi all, I just noticed that my two nics that are bonded via mode 0 are showing the same mac addy in ifconfig. Is this normal? In syslog I keep getting; kernel: pbond0: received packet with own address as source address Some guidance is appreciated before I dive in and troubleshoot. If I don't list the mac addy in my ifcfg-th# files, only one of the 2 nic comes up during boot.

Hi all! We use pxelinux for booting a diskless Linux from whitch we install all our systems. But we discovered some Problems: - With v1.75 the Kernel is fetched from the TFTP-Server with no problem, but it gets not started on Broadcom NetXtreme with newer PXE-Bioses - With v2.04, pxelinux even seems not to be able to fetch the kernel from the TFTP-Server. This affects also Intel's

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:>

Hi all, Over the last month or so I've installed FreeBSD 9 (-stable) on several Mac Minis via the memstick image; they seem to be pretty good little boxes for things like offsite secondary nameservers, for example, and they're easily replaced in case of problems. However, the newest minis have slightly different hardware, and FreeBSD can't find the built-in NIC. pciconf -lv on the

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.
