Is anybody else currently using the ethervgbe driver? I'm had some problems with it which don't seem to be caused by my hardware.
After receiving 256 packets I was getting: panic: freeb: ref -1; caller pc 0xf01b1754 panic: freeb: ref -1; caller pc 0xf01b1754 Turns out calling freeb was messing things up (so the second time through the block list the data went to bung blocks) and the workaround simple: 537c537 < etheriq(edev, block, 1); --- > etheriq(edev, block, 0); Now, those of you who know more about this than I, are there any side-effects of that? It seems to be working now... I also discovered (from the chipset manual) that the RX ring is apparently limited to 252 entries, but I'vn't made sure those 4 packets were indeed being dropped. I came across the missing PHY message in 9fans, and just wanted to put out there that I've only had the problem in the transition from Linux to Plan 9 (like when I was fetching docs for it), at which point removing power from the computer before booting fixed it. enjoy, tristan -- All original matter is hereby placed immediately under the public domain.
