I've just set up opensolaris 2009.06 svn_111 on an AMD(790FX) machine using a Realtek RTL8111DL NIC (using the rge driver) and I've noticed that the ethernet connection gets severed during data transfers.
I haven't experienced any problems during the occasional access to the network I did when surfing with firefox, updating packages and so on. But when I started transferring files from one computer on the network through SMB/CIFS the connection died right in the middle of the transfer about 15 minutes after starting it. The transfer was initiated on the other computer (running WinXP x64 ed). When I look at the status bar and run commands such as 'dladm show-ether' it shows no indications of failure, but internet is dead and I cannot ping to or from it. 'netstat -ni' shows that there are 3 "Oerrs", the rest looks "normal". I can't find any messages in the /var/adm/messages that are linked to these errors (I'll attach it along with the kstat information once I manage to revive the connection). I just I pulled the cable and put it back, the connection came back. How can I fix this issue? I enclose in the attachment the outputs from netstat -ni and kstat (NICFailure.txt) and the /var/adm/messages (NICFailure2.txt). -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
