Well, I found time to test this today after all - and it does actually fix the issue - my bce devices now work properly with lagg and lacp. Thanks for the confirmation. Dave ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list

David and I have committed some fixes to 7-STABLE tree, and I think all important bce(4) fixes has been merged now. If you have bce(4) interfaces PLEASE help us to test them, the simplest way of doing this is to sync your code with RELENG_7 and rebuild kernel. [1] I won't have

RE: HEADS UP: Plan to MFC new em driver

2007-06-06 Thread David Christensen
I have a version of code ready to MFC, the big difference with CURRENT is that TSO is #ifdef'd off until Andre is able to get that back. Is something broken with TSO? I just added TSO support to bce on CURRENT and was planning on MFC'ing to RELENG_6 within the next week. Dave

Are you still having a problem? Can you change the version number in if_bce.c (bce_driver_version) and make sure the right driver is loading? Dave Hi Dave, Well spotted, my appologies for that. I was indedd running a slightly older version of the driver. I may have mixed up

Scott, What are you doing when this problem occurs? Is it something I can easily duplicate here? When I tested the fix on -CURRENT I used the following command suggested by Doug to bring out the failure quickly: ssh bad machine dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 /dev/null Does this same
