Hi all,
anybody has fix the vif dropping packets problem. I have a pretty bad
experience here:
vif1.0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr FE:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:206 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:4454 errors:0 dropped:341 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:18845 (18.4 Kb) TX bytes:354704 (346.3 Kb)
dom0 works fine, the moment I put the eth0 up in domU then packets gets
lost - also for dom0.
Tried testing first, the stable. Stable recovers quicker. I''m available
for further testing if anyone cares.
Hardware: Tyan Transport GT20 (S5151 motherboard), P4 640 (single core),
Broadcom 57xx NIC (tg3 driver). Looking to switch to new P4 940 (dual
core, VT enabled) as soon as a suitable motherboard is available.
Software: Gentoo 5.1r1 on dom0 and domU. kernel compiled as P4 optimized.
I''m fiddling with route based networking but I''d rather have
the bridged
networking.
Regards,
Gabriel

No, it''s this: 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5721 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 11) The device is working just fine on other systems like this and even on this system on dom0 without any domU with active eth0 or in routed networking setup.

The reason I asked is that I have a problem on systems with Broadcom rev 10-NICS (routed setup works fine though), while the ones with rev 2 works fine with bridged setup. I can''t change the network card since it''s a blade server. If yours is a normal (e.g. rack-mount) server, you may have better luck trying other NICs. -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
