Date: Thu May 2 14:35:00 2002 Subject: [vortex] Help me :( Message-ID: <001f01c1f208$00b497a0$0200a8c0@dor> Hello, I emailed my "story" yesterday to "3c509" mailing list by they sent me here. Anyway, I have a Linux box that is doing masq... it shares my cables connection with the home lan. I've got 2 network cards, a 3com 3com 905B and a RealTek 8139. Few months ago when I had first set it up, i've had problems and used the 3com driver that is offered on 3com.com and it worked ok, now I installed SuSE 8.0 which wouldn't let me install the driver from 3com.com, and is using scyld.com's driver. And again, I have this weird problem that when i'm doing the masq everything is slower than when I used the old driver from 3com.com or when I connect the cable modem directly to my computer. Some info: i'm using iptables to do the masq, the 3com NIC is connected to the cable modem, and the RealTek to a hub which the rest of the computers are connected to it. Please help me I dunno what to do :( Maybe I just have something misconfigured? If I wouldn't have that fixed soon, I guess i'll just go back to the old Linux distro I used and install the 3com.com driver which worked fine. Thanks in advance! :) -Dor From submissions@americasbusinessdirectory.com Fri May 3 02:58:00 2002 From: submissions@americasbusinessdirectory.com (American Yellow Pages, Inc.)

How do you mean slower? What is slow? "Everything" could be, euh, well, everything.

Hmm, let me see if I understood that correctly. The Intel EEPRO 100 is an *internal* adapter that came with your laptop, right? Then later you bought and added the 3Com mini-pci adapter, right?

One is an integrated Inter EEPRO 100 ethernet controller which works fine. The other one is the 3com's Mini-PCI (3CN3AC1556B) which doesn't work at all. Hmm, let me see if I understood that correctly. The Intel EEPRO 100 is an *internal* adapter that came with your laptop, right? Then later you bought and added the 3Com mini-pci adapter, right?

If you actually have link beat on the cable (and you should verify that), the driver you are using might have the incorrect attributes for this device type. Try adding the following flags to the detection table: INVERT_LED_PWR | MII_XCVR_PWR The final list might look like: IS_TORNADO|HAS_NWAY|EEPROM_8BIT|HAS_CB_FNS|INVERT_LED_PWR|MII_XCVR_PWR, }, > May 14 09:52:58 Wilma kernel: eth1: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e201. > May 14 09:52:58 Wilma kernel: eth1: Interrupt posted but not delivered -- IRQ blocked by another device? This is a different problem -- interrupts are not getting through.

Yes, there should be collisions if it is a half duplex link. The Davicom chip is a bad one to compare against. Some versions of the chip don't detect CRC errors in packets. The driver tries to work around this by (painfully) calculating the CRC itself in some cases. Still, in most networks you shouldn't be seeing CRC errors. These are likely some other error. Are you seeing error messages in the logs? > RX packets:15208 errors:32 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:64 > TX packets:14995 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:40 txqueuelen:100 -- Donald Becker becker@scyld.com Scyld Computing Corporation http://www.scyld.com 410 Severn Ave. Suite 210 Second Generation Beowulf Clusters Annapolis MD 21403 410-990-9993 From felipewd@terra.com.br Wed May 22 14:28:00 2002 From: felipewd@terra.com.br (Felipe W.

I recently installed the NIC under mandrake linux with the following variations in driver/kernels: default mandrake kernel with 3c59x as a module 2.4.18 compiled from source kernel with 3c59x as both kernel and module 2.4.18 compiled from source kernel with 3c59x in kernel All give me the same problem.. frame errors. While the number of errors is low, it does cause a problem with I am uploading and downloading at the same time. (It kills my download speeds). my 3c900 connects to my ADSL RTU and the 8139 I have in the box connects to my LAN subnet. The 8139 in this box and that seems to work fine with no errors of any kind. An example: RX packets:167472 errors:1165 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:1165 TX packets:115634 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 They are also showing up under /proc/net/dev I have tried the most recent testing driver as a module as well with no difference in results. Since the nic works fine with no errors under windows there must be a driver or resource problem under linux. I wouldn't care except for the fact that I can no longer get acceptable performance out of my connection while uploading and downloading at the same time. While my upload speed remains great the download speeds will suffer hugely as soon as I start sending data.

Wright) Date: Wed May 29 17:35:01 2002 Subject: [vortex] 3c905c hangs w/ "transmit timed out" Message-ID: <200205292134.g4TLYfN09882@ayesha.phys.Virginia.EDU> Hi folks, I have a couple of small clusters made of Linux boxes with Asus A7V266-e motherboards and 3c905c network cards. Every few days, I find that one or more of the machines has lost network connectivity. When this happens, the machine acts as if the network driver is hung, and keeps spitting out the message: eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e000 The only solution is to reboot. I've tried several different versions of the network driver, with the same results. Currently I'm using: "3c59x.c:v0.99V 1/28/2002 Donald Becker, becker@scyld.com" I've also tried several different kernels, including 2.2.14, 2.2.15, 2.2.16 and 2.2.19, with the same results. These motherboards are based on the VIA chipset, and I know there are some PCI latency problems with this, so I've also tried playing around with the latencies a little. For example: #"open up" the PCI bus by allowing fairly long bursts for all devices, # increasing performance setpci -v -d '*:*' latency_timer=b0 #maximize latency timer for network cards, allowing them to transmit #more data per burst, preventing buffer over/underrun conditions: setpci -v -s 00:0f.0 latency_timer=ff (stolen from http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-hw2) This didn't make any difference either. The hangs appear to be associated with high network traffic. We have several other small clusters based on different motherboards and older 3c509 cards, and these don't have this problem. Uptimes for nodes in the other clusters are typically on the order of a year. I'd appreciate any suggestions. Since network cards are so cheap now, I'm considering just scrapping the 3c905s and replacing them with something else.
