I read through the Intel datasheet of the 82599 ethernet adapter and would like to test the mentioned filters. I used the 'ethtool -U [interface]' at the beginning but I can't find any flow-types for IPv6 headers, so my question is it possible to enable all mentioned filters in the datasheet with the 'ethtool'? Is there maybe any documentation with examples in it?

I have a machine (SuperMicro H8SCM, AMD Opteron) with an I340-T4 PCIe NIC connected. I'm running CentOS 6.2 with the latest updated kernel. There's a single cable connecting the first port on the card to a switch. When the machine POST's, the link light is on. Even at the GRUB menu, the link light is still on. However, as soon as the kernel begins to load, the link light disappears until I reboot. Even rmmod'ing the driver won't bring it back. At first I thought it was a hardware problem. So I swapped it out with the other one I had. (I bought two.) Same issue. Then I tried a Fedora 16 live CD. And everything "just worked." FWIW, Ubuntu 10.04.4 has the same issue when I tested it. So at this point, I know my hardware and network configuration are good. What I can't figure out, is why the igb driver initializes perfectly, but the link light never turns on?

I'm currently working on an ixgbevf driver. Due to some special requirements, I need to pre-allocate a pool of contiguous RX and TX buffer (4MB total in my case). I chopped the pool into multiple pages and assigned one-by-one to the RX and TX ring buffer. I also implemented a bitmap to manage the free/allocation of this DMA pool. When packet is coming, the ixgbevf device DMA the packet into the RX buffer. Then my modified version of ixgbevf driver needs to do an "skb_copy" to copy the whole packet out of the pre-allocated pool so that the Linux kernel later on can free this copied skb and the buffer in the pre-allocated pool can be freed. Same ideal in the case of transmission. Everything works fine until I found a poor reception performance. I got TX: 9.4Gbps and RX: 1Gbps. I looked into the problem and found my driver spent quite a long time in doing 1. skb_copy in ixgbevf_clean_rx_irq and 2. netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align (in ixgbevf_alloc_rx_buffers).</pre> William Tu 2012-05-22T12:43:36 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.e1000.devel/10064 <pre>Hi, There is a doubt with the working of e1000e driver - 1.9.5-NAPI-intel-2012-02-29 version. We are seeing a non-zero value of 65355 being returned for speed_hi for the ethtool_cmd structure for the ioctl ETHTOOL_GSET. when the interface is up it returns zero for speed_hi. For setting the Ethernet speed/duplex we first query the driver with the ioctl ETHTOOL_GSET and change only the speed and duplex values in the ethtool_cmd structure and leave the rest(speed_hi) as is and invoke the ioctl ETHTOOL_SSET. We don't see this issue with the older driver version - 1.0.2-k2 . I have looked at the function e1000_get_settings in the newer driver version, where the following code seems to cause the problem. speed = -1; ecmd-&gt;duplex = -1; if (netif_running(netdev)) { if (netif_carrier_ok(netdev)) { speed = adapter-&gt;link_speed; ecmd-&gt;duplex = adapter-&gt;link_duplex - 1; } } else { u32 status = er32(</pre> Shashidhara Shamaiah 2012-05-22T11:26:28 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.e1000.devel/10053 <pre> Hello Sales I went over your contact online and found some items which we have interest in purchasing to our store in Spain for urgent supply.
