pci bus 0x0008 cardnum 0x00 function 0x00: vendor 0x10ec device 0x8168 Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller
I have three different hosts with the same chipset. One is running build 81 one is running build 86 and one is running build 113. Build 81 is a Sager Laptop that has run with the rge driver for over a year. It has run without problems for that time Build 86 is a on motherboard ECS 770 motherboard that has been working for almost a year without problems. Build 113 is a ECS 790 am3 motherboard that I have just installed. The rge driver will only configure the interface as 10/half or 1000/full. Under 10/half the interface is slow with many collisions but functions. Under 1000/Full the interface functions for a couple of minutes and then data does not seem to flow. A snoop of the interface when data slows shows that the negotiated packet payloads drop down to "0". I have seen this problem before on sparc based platform doing high loads to a Microsoft iis server. I found bugid 6276464 for that issue and even through the bug reported that it was not affected in solaris 10 I found that tcpInPastWinSegs = 47652 < should be zero. Once I set the workaround TCP parameter tcp_co_min = 1500 I was able to get around the problem. Now I was thinking that I would like to see if I could work around the rge problem in the same way since the packet payload problem was looked the same. So I went to set this TCP parameter "tcp_co_min" but it does not exist in build 113! It does exist in build 81 and 86. So Was the tcp_co_min parameter removed from the tcp stack and could this be causing the problem that I am seeing?
