| |
Hi Jeff et all,
I just tried 2.4.23-pre3 with results that are disastrous, for me at least.
As you will remember, I'm the one who has to do an ifconfig down/up cycle on my asus A7V8X mobo with built-in Broadcom chip. But after the updates in -pre3 the chip no longer will work at all.
In fact, if I try 'ifconfig eth0 down' the command hangs forever and chews up 99.9% of the CPU. No packets are ever transmitted in spite of a normal 'ifconfig' output after bootup. The chip is correctly identified in dmesg:
eth0: Tigon3 [partno(BCM95702A20) rev 1002 PHY(5703)] (PCI:33MHz:32-bit) 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet 00:e0:18:d2:a6:c1
and lspci: 00:09.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5702 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 02) Subsystem: Asustek Computer, Inc.: Unknown device 80a9 Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 10 Memory at f1800000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] Expansion ROM at f7ff0000 [disabled] [size=64K] Capabilities: [40] PCI-X non-bridge device. Capabilities: [48] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [50] Vital Product Data Capabilities: [58] Message Signalled Interrupts: 64bit+ Queue=0/3 Enable- The data above were taken from 2.6.0-test4, but are the same in 2.4.23-pre3.
I would ask that you please not apple these recent changes to 2.6.0 until we figure out what the problem is.
Again, I offer to do whatever testing/patching/whatever that I can do to get this resolved, but you'll need to give me some specific instructions.
Thanks!
