I'm not entirely sure this bug is invalid. We recently upgraded some of our HP blades and bridge networking stopped working with the the 3.2.0-31 Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Kernel and the be2net driver. I've tested a number of kernels and distros both with and without the be2net driver and I can definitively say that the 3.2.0-31 does not work.
I have confirmed that the following Ubuntu version and kernel work on the same HP blades with the be2net driver. Oneiric: 3.0.0-17-server #30-Ubuntu SMP 3.0.0-19-server #33-Ubuntu SMP 3.0.0-22-server #36-Ubuntu SMP 3.0.0-23-server #39-Ubuntu SMP 3.0.0-25-server #41-Ubuntu SMP Precise: 3.2.0-30-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP Additionally I have tested the following kernels with the bnx2 driver and can confirm that they work without issue. Oneiric: 3.0.0-17-server #30-Ubuntu SMP 3.0.0-19-server #33-Ubuntu SMP Precise: 3.2.0-25-generic #40-Ubuntu SMP 3.2.0-29-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP 3.2.0-30-generic #48-Ubuntu SMP 3.2.0-31-generic #50-Ubuntu SMP The only combination that does not work is the be2net driver and the 3.2.0-31 kernel. I have tried the proposed "solution" of configuring the bridges via /etc/network/interfaces with no luck. Further testing with tcpdump reveals that the underlying physical interface is receiving the packets but they do not appear to be making it to the bridge. I am happy to provide any elements of the configuration as well as tcpdumps or anything else that might be of assistance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1013199 Title: be2net driver used by HP BL460c bridge networking not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1013199/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
