[Bug 117411] Re: nVidia 680i Ethernet is not working / Forcedeth Module
The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test: 1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux- image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test. --or-- 2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD. Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback. ** Tags added: cft-2.6.27 -- nVidia 680i Ethernet is not working / Forcedeth Module https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117411 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

After the recent kernel upgrade (from 2.6.24.16.18 to 2.6.24.17.19), the problem is fixed. I don't have to use the dirty trick above anymore.

It seems that the problem with my wife's notebook is not related to this one. I don't need anymore to restart the b43 module for it to work, just put the network in roaming.

I have succeeded in using an expect script to automate user and password passing to enable execution of the modprobes... Sadly I think that this is unsecure, since it requires that the password be in clear on the script... Anyone there knows the trick to restart the forcedeth without requiring passwords? I also found that on my wife´s notebook I have to restart the b43 module for the network to function properly.

[Bug 117411] Re: nVidia 680i Ethernet is not working / Forcedeth Module
I tried the solution of adding options forcedeth msi=0 msix=0 to (both) /etc/modprobe.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/options, and it partially works, i.e., it works after I manually execute: sudo modprobe -r forcedeth sudo modprobe forcedeth after I log in... For a beginners workaround, I already have made a script to do this trick, and installed an icon on a panel, which executes gksudo /home/USERNAME/Scripts/restartForcedeth.sh (the script is attached - don't forget inserting the options!!!). Just put it in a Scripts directory in your home, make it executable, and create the launcher... Dirty but works - hope someone finds it useful... I'll still try to find a better solution... I think that this is a critical problem (at least for everyone that has an nForce chipset), because internet connectivity is almost required nowadays, and it is very frustrating for a new user of Ubuntu to have to cope with this kind of problem. ** Attachment added: Simple (dumb...) script to restart forcedeth http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14153122/restartForcedeth.sh -- nVidia 680i Ethernet is not working / Forcedeth Module https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117411 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm both the existence of this problem in Hardy Alpha 5 and the fact that the solution posted above still works.

[Bug 117411] Re: nVidia 680i Ethernet is not working / Forcedeth Module
I've been having the problem, ever since upgrading my server to feisty, that the ethernet simply disappears at seemingly random times of high activity and won't come back until after a reboot. I've tried modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0 as suggested in the thread, but I don't yet know whether that will make a difference. I agree that if this is in fact the cause of the problem, it is urgetn to backport an updated driver and/or at least arrange for an update that patches /etc/modules.conf -- nVidia 680i Ethernet is not working / Forcedeth Module https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117411 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Try the following: * Check if forcedeth-Module is available in your config: Code: modprobe -l | grep forcedeth Should result in something like (other kernel number): /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/kernel/drivers/net/forcedeth.ko * Check if forcedeth-Module is currently active: Code: lsmod | grep forcedeth if active, it should result in forcedeth 38372 0 * Unload forcedeth-Module if active Code: modprobe -r forcedeth * Load forcedeth-Module without MSI and MSIX for testing: Code: modprobe forcedeth msi=0 msix=0 * Restart Network: Code: /etc/init.d/networking restart * If your ethernet is now working, you can update your module- configuration like described in the previous posts to process the forcedeth-options on system boot. -- nVidia 680i Ethernet is not working / Forcedeth Module https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117411 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
