Hi,

I have a PC with an integrate re ethernet interface, pciconf identifies
it like this:

re0@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x11c01734 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x07
hdr=0x00

I'm running FreeBSD current r252261.

As stated in the subject after boot the interface does not work
correctly.

Using tcpdump on another host I noticed that packets (ICMP echo requests
for example) do get sent, and replies generated by the other host, but
the kernel does not seem to see them. Except that every now and then
some packet does get to the system.

I'm seeing packet 7, 27, 47, 66, 86, 106, 125, 144, 164, 183 and so on
from a ping which has been running for some time. Just about one every
twenty. Some pattern is showing up.

this is the output of ifconfig re0 after boot:

re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu
1500

options=8209b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_MAGIC,LINKSTATE>

          ether 00:19:99:f8:d3:0b
          inet 172.24.42.13 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.24.42.255
          inet6 fe80::219:99ff:fef8:d30b%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
          nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
          media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
          status: active

If I just touch any interface flag with ifconfig, anyone, tso, -txcsum
-rxcsum, it starts working flawlessly. It keeps working also if I
perform the opposite operation with ifconfig afterwards, so it is not
the flag itself fixing it.

This is an ifconfig after performing this exercise(it's the same, since
I disabled txcsum and reactivated it in this instance):

re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu
1500

options=8209b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,WOL_MAGIC,LINKSTATE>

          ether 00:19:99:f8:d3:0b
          inet 172.24.42.13 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.24.42.255
          inet6 fe80::219:99ff:fef8:d30b%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
          nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
          media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
          status: active

I don't know much about FreeBSD network drivers so i can't make theories
about this. I hope someone has an idea what the problem could be.

I'm available for any further information needed, test, experiment and
so on.

Could you show me dmesg output(re(4) and rgephy(4) only)?

Also, I'm loading this as a module, but, for as much as I know, this
should not make any difference.


Did it ever work or you see the issue only on CURRENT?

Never worked on this machine (I own it since the last days of February).

I only installed current on it. If needed I can find time to test a
recent 9.x snapshot on it.

Sorry for the delay.

I tested with a 9.2 PRERELEASE snapshot and it shows the same behavior
it shows on CURRENT.

Any further tests or things I can do to help diagnose this problem?

Greetings,
  I may be just groping here, but I notice in your ifconfig(8) output:
          nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>
________________________________________^^^^^^^^^^
While you may have explicitly disabled it; my output (also re0) reads:
nd6 options=3<PERFORMNUD,ACCEPT_RTADV>

Just saying, cause I'm not experiencing your issue(s), and mine is also an 
onboard
NIC.

I noticed that too, but it's only on the IPv6 interface, I'm using only IPv4 at this time. Also, it works fine after the "ifconfig re0 <flag>" (flag being any from tso, -rxcsum, -txcsum etc) with that IFDISABLED active.

I'm seeing that IFDISABLED on all the IPV6 options of all the interfaces of the machines I manage.

P.S. There were also recent changes to rc(8) regarding the syntax of ifconfig.


Uhm, I'll check, I can't test a newer -current right now, but I will do in a few weeks at most.
