packet loss with re(4) - fixed on 6.4-R
I'm happy to say that the packet loss I experienced with re(4) on 6.3-RELEASE has been fixed by a patch provided off list by Pyun YongHyeon. I'm also happy to report that the same hardware does not exhibit any re(4) problems with 7.0-RELEASE. ref: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=469314+0+archive/ 2008/freebsd-stable/20080224.freebsd-stable -- Dan Langille -- http://www.langille.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Thanks for this, have just downloaded it and patched my files and compared them to the other new ones to see the differnces - which has convinced me that I am probably O.K. to go with the new ones directly. Am about to do that and see how it goes. > Without this patch, my machine would lose connectivity when network > traffic increased (for ecxample transferring a large file). with this > patch - no problems. It was your comments which made me concerned about if_re in the first place, which was a useful warning. I have something in place now to detect network connectivity every six hours and to reboot the machine if it looks like the network is down, so that should hopefully prevent me losing access. cheers, -pete. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hi! Everybody, I *am* subscribed to the list, there is no need to CC me at all.

I couldn't see anyone lese in this thread whos name starts with Tor... so I guess you were adressing me. I used this patch http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/re.HEAD.patch and it worled well for me. Without this patch, my machine would lose connectivity when network traffic increased (for ecxample transferring a large file). with this patch - no problems. After the last update, I saw that there had been a lot of fixes for re (4) in the source, so I didn't bother with this patch.The machine is still up, but I haven't tried any heavy network traffic yet. Note: this machine isn't really "in production" - I just test out stuff on it now. My plan was to use it as a server for virtual servers, but so far I have just tested qemu on it, and the results were not convincing (for some reason qemu is unstable on this machine).

Unfortunately 7-stable does not have latest fixes for re(4). For 7-stable or 7.0-RELEASE use the following files. http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/7.0R/if_re.c http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/7.0R/if_rlreg.h For 6.3-RELEASE, use the following patch. http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/6.3R/re.busdma.patch > > References: > 1) http://tingox.googlepages.com/asus_m2a-vm_hdmi_freebsd > -- > Regards, > Torfinn Ingolfsen -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Perhaps the recent MFC's for re helps? see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/dev/re/if_re.c I have just upgraded my machine[1] to the latest 7-stable,so it is still too early to tell if re(4) is stable now.

packet loss with re(4)
With FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE, I'm finding significant packet loss (sometimes 85%). If I insert an Intel nic (fxp), there is nil packet loss with similar tests (ping -c 100). re0: port 0xc800-0xc8ff mem 0xf9fff000-0xf9ff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci1 I have seen a thread on current mentioning similar problems: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=862039+0+current/freebsd- current -- Dan Langille -- http://www.langille.org/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
