Hi, Roger Sorry for late response as we are busy with other higher priority task. ixgbe_setup_mac_link_multispeed_fiber( ) in ixgbe_common.c calls ixgbe_setup_mac_link( ) which some functions defined in ixgbe/base . Would you please give us more info to narrow down this issue ?
What device id did you use to trigger this issue ? To get more info, would you please change "CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IXGBE_DEBUG_DRIVER=n" to " CONFIG_RTE_LIBRTE_IXGBE_DEBUG_DRIVER=y" in config/common_base And run your application with EAL parameter --log-level=7 to get trace path of ixgbe functions for us.
