[netdrivers] Re: Problem with sundance driver with DFE-580TX

Hello,
I have very similar or identical(?) troubles with D-Link DFE-580TX 4port
network card in Linux router(s) with Debian Woody and customized vanilla
2.4.26 kernel, patched with FreeS/WAN (v2.05) kernel patch.
Running the 2.4.26 Linux kernel driver (1.01+LK1.09a "10-Jul-2003")
problems begin when average traffic reaches 2 Mbit/s each direction.
Then I can see following errors in dmesg every few minutes:
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth6: transmit timed out
eth6: Transmit timed out, TxStatus 00 TxFrameId 1b,
resetting...(continued at the bottom of my message)
So the port is reset successfully without manual intervention.
---
With the sundance.c (v1.11 2/4/2003) and pci-scan.c (v1.12 7/30/2003)
from http://www.scyld.com/ethercard_drivers.html
it seems to work without resetting (I did heavy netperf TCP stream
tests, two simultaneous streams for upload / download through the router
using two ethernet ports on the D-Link card).
Although there is no more resetting now we have found out that the
driver (or whatever behind the scene) ignores or filters out incoming
multicast RIP packets from RIP neighbours. But as soon as I start
tcpdump the RIP packets come through OK (doesn't matter if I use the -p
switch in tcpdump or not)! When the tcpdump is stopped the RIP packets
become ignored again and the RIP routes die off. We use zebra / quagga
as routing daemon - quagga_0.96.5-8.backports.org.1_i386.deb with MD5
support for BGP sessions. The router usually runs RIP and BGP.
Any help or suggestion would be appreciated
Best regards
Dalimil Gala
