--- Comment #113 from Richard Russo <free...@ruka.org> --- (In reply to Mahmoud Al-Qudsi from comment #112) > In the four years since, there have been no complaints of any regressions or > other issues caused by using the vendor-patched version of the driver or the > ports net/realtek-re-kmod repackagement of it. As I reported above, the vendor driver emits ethernet pause frames, which is undesirable on my network; and it's not configurable. Of course, being unable to send or receive frames is worse; but the opaque nature of the vendor driver makes it hard to do any refinement. When I saw the vendor driver is opaque, look at the function re_enable_EEE (line 8087). That's a whole lot of probably important hardware configuration that we have no idea what's going on for. That said, perhaps the watchdog message could be adjusted to refer to this bug or the realtek-re-kmod port. Or maybe the vendor could be persuaded to release more details about their hardware? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. You are the assignee for the bug.
