[Xen-users] Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 bnx2 bridging problem
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. The card is: 09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 11) Using the bnx2 module: filename: /lib/modules/2.6.16-2-xen-686/kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.ko version: 1.4.31 license: GPL description: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5706/5708 Driver author: Michael Chan <mchan@broadcom.com> srcversion: E70D1EF4482674DE649B19D alias: pci:v000014E4d000016ACsv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000014E4d000016AAsv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000014E4d000016AAsv0000103Csd00003102bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000014E4d0000164Csv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000014E4d0000164Asv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000014E4d0000164Asv0000103Csd00003106bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000014E4d0000164Asv0000103Csd00003101bc*sc*i* depends: vermagic: 2.6.16-2-xen-686 SMP 686 gcc-4.0 parm: disable_msi:Disable Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI) (int) from the debian xen kernel: Linux xen 2.6.16-2-xen-686 #1 SMP Sun Jul 16 01:42:25 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux In a dell poweredge 1950 If I swap eth0 from the broadcom to a usb ethernet card using the rtl8150 driver, the bridging works immediately. I''m using the debian sid xen packages xen-utils 3.0.2+hg9697-2 I''ve put a tcpdump prepared for ethereal from the xen dom0 here: http://www.yerma.org/~pete/temp/xen/dom0 And one from the gateway here: http://www.yerma.org/~pete/temp/xen/gateway Obviously I can work around this using the usb ethernet card, but I''d prefer to use the gigabit nics that I''ve paid for.
