Confirmed that this is still an issue on 18.04.1. I have an HP 705 G1 with the Broadcom 5762. In my case it's a Plex server. Whenever I try to stream something the interface goes "NO-CARRIER" and the only way to recover is to reboot. I've tried disabling highdma, tso and gso using ethtool, iommu=soft kernel parameter, and forcing every combo of 1gbps/100mbps & half/full duplex. Nothing seems to workaround the issue.

Call trace: https://launchpadlibrarian.net/204185480/dmesg When this happens, only a reboot would be able to fix it. Sometimes, however, bringing the interface offline and online (via ifconfig) would recover networking. I've also tested with the latest tg3 driver (dec 2014 version) and networking is still problematic. I have also disabled TSO, GSO etc... with ethtool and the bug still surfaces. This bug may be related to the integrated Firmware. Here is the procedure to replicate the issue because it is hard to replicate it under moderate network load. 1. Bootup a machine with a broadcom 5762 NIC (ie. HP DeskElite 705) using a Ubuntu/Kubunu Live CD 14.04-15.04. 2. from another machine: start 5 sessions, repetitively copy (scp with public key authentication) a 70 meg file back and forth to the tg3 machine in each session. (not sure if this is necessary) 3. create a 1GB file on the tg3 machine, with something like dd if=/dev/urandom of=/my/test/file bs=1024 count=$((1024*1000)) 4. from another machine: repetitively scp copy that 1GB file from the tg3 machine. This can be done with something like: while [ 0 ]; do scp -i /my/scp/private.key u...@ip.of.tg3:/my/test/file /tmp done; Networking will mostly goes offline in about 10-30 minutes.
