Hello Steve and Jack, You need to handle the SIOCSIFADDR ioctl or it gets passed up the stack to ether_ioctl(). When it goes up the interface gets reset. See the comments in em_ioctl() and igb_ioctl().
We fixed this in ixgbe in our internal tree and it seems to work fine with 82598 and 82599. You also need to include opt_inet.h for the INET #define to be valid. -Andrew On Apr 22, 2011, at 7:06 PM, Steven Hartland wrote: > Just double checked on igb1 on the same machine, adding an alias causes > no loss in network from the primary or existing ip aliases for the nic. > > So this should be eliminating most variables except the driver? > > Regards > Steve > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jack Vogel" <jfvo...@gmail.com> > To: "Steven Hartland" <kill...@multiplay.co.uk> > Cc: <freebsd-net@freebsd.org>; "Vogel, Jack" <jack.vo...@intel.com> > Sent: Friday, April 22, 2011 11:35 PM > Subject: Re: Intel ix (X520) disconnects when manipulating ips? > > >> OK, did some testing, this re-init with link transition will happen on both >> the 1G >> drivers as well as ixgbe, its due to the stack/ioctl behavior when you do >> the >> ifconfig. >> So, what are you comparing this to that DOESN'T do this??
