Hello list users.
I have bougth motherboard Epox 8kda3J, which has NV ethernet adapter
MCP7.
My system was FreeBSD 5.4 and i found NV MCP Driver for FreeBSD here:
http://www.onthenet.com.au/~q/nvnet/
Ok, I got it, install and kldloaded; then ifconfig tells me that my
ethernet card see cable, but I started to receive these messages:
device nv0 timeout(5), with ascending numbers;
Ok, I get Freebsd 6.0-BETA1, where driver pre-built in kernel.
The different were only interface name, whic is nve0, but also shows
timeouts.
This was tested with cross cable between two pcs, and with normal cable
pc-switch.
I tried to turn on debugging nve driver, but then system just hangs.
Can anyone comment?
Hi,
I have the same network interface on Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe. That nve
driver in the FreeBSD6.0-BETA1
is very poor. Sometimes it causes a kernel panic, sometimes it hangs
with device timeouts. I've sent a PR
about that kernel panic with trace included but nobody has taken care of
that yet.
I have committed a fix to the nve(4) driver very recently in HEAD. I
don't think it could fix the device timeout issues, however, it might
help with the panics you were getting. If you could give this fix a
try, I'd be grateful.
Cheers,
Maxime
Ok, I'll. If it seems okay, is it possible to commit it to RELENG_6?
That's the plan. I'm actually waiting for feedback to know whether this
helps make things better or not. I'll ask re@ for permission to MFC it
once I know it's good (I have no nve(4) hardware myself).
I have installed the HEAD kernel. Is it necessary to upgrade the
userland to HEAD too for testing your fixes?
There aren't great changes between RELENG_6 and HEAD afaik, and after
doing some strong tests, I would
like to returtn to RELENG_6, thus it would be more convenient to left
userland alone, but if it is required,
I'll upgrade completely to HEAD. What should I do?
Cheers,
Gábor Kövesdán
