Xen devel - Dec 2008 - bnx2 device exposed to domU using pciback permissive mode not working properly

Hi xen-devel,

bnx2 ( Broadcom 1 gige Nic card ) was directly exported to the domU virtual
server using the pciback technique.

Apart from that I had to enable msi=1 for the xen command line and add the
following to  xend-pci-permissive config file...

 cat /etc/xen/xend-pci-permissive.sxp
(unconstrained_dev_ids
     #(''0123:4567:89AB:CDEF'')
     (''14e4:164c'')
)

Prior to the modification of the pci-permissive.sxp file the link used to
stay down permanently.
Now with the changes the device is not reporting the correct link speed, nor
am i able to ping to the interface.

Does anybody know about how to handle this, is there any other information
that i can look at to troubleshoot this issue?


Thanks,
Karthik
