Hi, I would guess that your qdio and qeth drivers are working OK, but the stack does not recognize that it should use this particular interface to reach the RedHat systems you are trying to ping.

This is why I think the drivers are working. The device driver has to jump through numerous initialization hoops to get to the point of registering an IP Address. If there is a mismatch between the adapter support (real or simulated) and the driver, you would normally see it before this point. >hsi0 came up fine and can ping itself, but no one else. The netmask and >MTU are correct. My experience has been that the adapter does not see that ping. Something within the Linux stack recognizes that you are pinging the interface IP Address... and the response is generated without causing any activity for the adapter. >I'm wondering if SuSE shipped a working QDIO driver, because all my >parameters are as far as I can tell correct, and everything works except >actually passing packets, which is the problem we had before we got the >right level of hipersockets on the machine. I have limited experience with Linux. I have seen some failures where the ifup command concludes with "delaying initialization" but in those cases the IP Addresses are not successfully registered with the adapter... but in those cases the QUERY NIC DETAIL did not show IP Addresses. I hope the same was true for you... otherwise it is going to make it very difficult to distinguish between configuration errors and simulation errors :-( >So: has anyone successfully set up SLES beta with the hsi interface? Sorry... I have not used the SLES beta, but I hope somebody on the list will confirm that the HiperSockets drivers work with that distribution.
