Hi Jay, With this patch applied to the 2.4 kernel, we were able to get to 1.8Gbits/s. >From this result, I think to get bonding working correctly in 2.4 kernel, I probably have to back port a lot 2.6 changes into 2.4.
Thanks!

You can see it here: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next-2.6.git;a=commitdif f;h=17d04500e2528217de5fe967599f98ee84348a9c I think I can pretty much guarantee it won't apply to your kernel (well, it won't compile, anyway). I very much doubt the bug it fixes is your problem, as that bug only existed in the 2.6 kernel. The 2.4 bonding driver doesn't have the bug this patch fixes. If you want to email me (off list, if you like) the /proc/net/bonding/bond* files for the working/not working setups, I'm happy to take a gander and see if they look funky. -J --- -Jay Vosburgh, IBM Linux Technology Center, [email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ E1000-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/e1000-devel
