| |
Hello,
I recently bought a 4-port Intel NIC (82580)
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82580 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01) 03:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82580 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01) 03:00.2 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82580 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01) 03:00.3 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82580 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01)
Model name: Intel I340 Server Adapter
Which uses this driver: | | <M> Intel(R) 82575/82576 PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet support | | | | [ ] Direct Cache Access (DCA) Support | |
I have tried with and without the DCA support.
Out of the four ports in the back, only two work, why is this?
[ CARD ] 1 2 3 4 X X
Where X = working.
I've tried the built-in kernel driver from 2.6.39 as well as the latest e1000e driver from sf.net (1.3.17), any thoughts?
eth0: negotiated 1000baseT-FD flow-control, link ok <- onboard eth1: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok <- middle port 1 eth2: negotiated 1000baseT-FD flow-control, link ok <- middle port 2 eth3: no link <- left most port (plugged in) eth4: no link <- right most port (plugged in)
The last two parts of each mac addr:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:3b:f9 WORKING eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:3b:fa WORKING eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:3b:f8 no link eth4 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:3b:fb no link
Thoughts?
Justin.
