Hello John, I wanted to ask you if the information I provided you is helpful? Something goes wrong during the initialization of the driver in Kernel 2.6.37. The function e1000_read_mac_addr_generic does not read the MAC address correctly from the EEPROM. The strange thing is that ethtool displays the content of the EEPROM correct (even under Kernel 2.6.37).
If I use Kernel 2.6.30 everything works fine. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Mangard Martin Gesendet: Mittwoch, 6.

Dear John, I agree with you that this sounds like a blank EEPROM but this is not the case. If I boot the machine with Kernel 2.6.30 everything is fine and if I boot the same machine with Kernel 2.6.37 the MAC addresses are some how not read from the EEPROM during the initialization. How can this happen? Test Run with Kernel 2.6.37: ============================= I added two printk in the driver, where the MAC-Address should be read from the EEPROM /** * e1000_read_mac_addr_generic - Read device MAC address * @hw: pointer to the HW structure * * Reads the device MAC address from the EEPROM and stores the value. * Since devices with two ports use the same EEPROM, we increment the * last bit in the MAC address for the second port. **/ s32 e1000_read_mac_addr_generic(struct e1000_hw *hw) { u32 rar_high; u32 rar_low; u16 i; rar_high = er32(RAH(0)); rar_low = er32(RAL(0)); printk("MMARK %08X \n",rar_high); // <<<<---- printk("MMARK %08X \n",rar_low ); // <<<<----- for (i = 0; i < E1000_RAL_MAC_ADDR_LEN; i++) hw->mac.perm_addr[i] = (u8)(rar_low >> (i*8)); for (i = 0; i < E1000_RAH_MAC_ADDR_LEN; i++) hw->mac.perm_addr[i+4] = (u8)(rar_high >> (i*8)); for (i = 0; i < ETH_ALEN; i++) hw->mac.addr[i] = hw->mac.perm_addr[i]; return 0; } In the Kernel messages I get: e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 1.2.7-k2 e1000e: Copyright (c) 1999 - 2010 Intel Corporation. e1000e 0000:02:00.0: Disabling ASPM L1 e1000e 0000:02:00.0: PCI->APIC IRQ transform: INT A -> IRQ 17 e1000e 0000:02:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 e1000e 0000:02:00.0: irq 40 for MSI/MSI-X e1000e 0000:02:00.0: Disabling ASPM L0s e1000e 0000:02:00.0: Warning: detected DSPD enabled in EEPROM MMARK 00000102 MMARK 08000103 e1000e 0000:02:00.0: (unregistered net_device): Invalid MAC Address: 03:01:00:08:02:01 e1000e: probe of 0000:02:00.0 failed with error -5 e1000e 0000:03:00.0: Disabling ASPM L1 e1000e 0000:03:00.0: PCI->APIC IRQ transform: INT A -> IRQ 18 e1000e 0000:03:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 e1000e 0000:03:00.0: irq 40 for MSI/MSI-X e1000e 0000:03:00.0: Disabling ASPM L0s e1000e 0000:03:00.0: Warning: detected DSPD enabled in EEPROM MMARK 00000804 MMARK 00290440 e1000e 0000:03:00.0: eth0: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x1) 40:04:29:00:04:08 <<---- I do not know form where this address comes but Eth0 gets initialized e1000e 0000:03:00.0: eth0: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection e1000e 0000:03:00.0: eth0: MAC: 2, PHY: 2, PBA No: ffffff-0ff e1000e 0000:04:00.0: Disabling ASPM L1 e1000e 0000:04:00.0: PCI->APIC IRQ transform: INT A -> IRQ 19 e1000e 0000:04:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 e1000e 0000:04:00.0: irq 41 for MSI/MSI-X e1000e 0000:04:00.0: Disabling ASPM L0s e1000e 0000:04:00.0: Warning: detected DSPD enabled in EEPROM MMARK 00000000 MMARK 040100A0 e1000e 0000:03:00.0: irq 40 for MSI/MSI-X e1000e 0000:03:00.0: irq 40 for MSI/MSI-X ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready device eth0 entered promiscuous mode e1000e 0000:04:00.0: eth1: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x1) a0:00:01:04:00:00 e1000e 0000:04:00.0: eth1: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection e1000e 0000:04:00.0: eth1: MAC: 2, PHY: 2, PBA No: ffffff-0ff e1000e 0000:05:00.0: Disabling ASPM L1 e1000e 0000:05:00.0: PCI->APIC IRQ transform: INT A -> IRQ 16 e1000e 0000:05:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 e1000e 0000:05:00.0: irq 42 for MSI/MSI-X e1000e 0000:05:00.0: Disabling ASPM L0s e1000e 0000:05:00.0: Warning: detected DSPD enabled in EEPROM MMARK 00000000 MMARK 00100000 e1000e 0000:04:00.0: irq 41 for MSI/MSI-X e1000e 0000:04:00.0: irq 41 for MSI/MSI-X ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready device eth1 entered promiscuous mode e1000e 0000:05:00.0: eth2: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x1) 00:00:10:00:00:00 e1000e 0000:05:00.0: eth2: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection e1000e 0000:05:00.0: eth2: MAC: 2, PHY: 2, PBA No: ffffff-0ff e1000e 0000:06:00.0: Disabling ASPM L1 e1000e 0000:06:00.0: PCI->APIC IRQ transform: INT A -> IRQ 17 e1000e 0000:06:00.0: setting latency timer to 64 e1000e 0000:06:00.0: irq 43 for MSI/MSI-X e1000e 0000:06:00.0: Disabling ASPM L0s e1000e 0000:06:00.0: Warning: detected DSPD enabled in EEPROM MMARK 00000000 MMARK 00000000 e1000e 0000:06:00.0: (unregistered net_device): Invalid MAC Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 e1000e: probe of 0000:06:00.0 failed with error -5 As you can see the MAC addresses are zero or something which seems to be like a random number.

This sounds like you have a blank EEPROM. Has it ever been programmed to begin with? Did the TME's or field engineers give you what is called the dev starter image which has the initial EEPROM image which you then burned into the EEPROM? If you have not yet programmed the EEPROM, all the issues you are seeing would be happening. If you have not yet programmed the EEPROM at all you will need to do this first before it is going to work at all. Are you saying that this exact same device with this EEPROM is working on one kernel but not another? If so, please explain in detail. BTW, the MAC address in bytes 0-2 is _the_ MAC address and not the alternate MAC address. I think this was confusing us from you first email. Thanks.
