5 ethers hangs up with no reason

Padawan.AVT · 02-11-2008, 03:24 PM

I have a router for 4 internal subnets to 1 external

All ethers are Intel 1000 Mb/s NICs
Debian 4 kernel 2.6.18-r4.k7

For some reason they just hang up after 15-20 minutes

I didn't found anything suspicious in logs today, but few days before there were some records and after doing some google I found that Intel 1000 Mb/s may cause such a situation.

Here are those records:

Code:

Feb  4 01:12:44 firefly kernel:   Tx Queue             <0>
Feb  4 01:12:44 firefly kernel:   TDH                  <25>
Feb  4 01:12:44 firefly kernel:   TDT                  <25>
Feb  4 01:12:44 firefly kernel:   next_to_use          <25>
Feb  4 01:12:44 firefly kernel:   next_to_clean        <39>
Feb  4 01:12:44 firefly kernel: buffer_info[next_to_clean]
Feb  4 01:12:44 firefly kernel:   time_stamp           <a73b9e>
Feb  4 01:12:44 firefly kernel:   next_to_watch        <39>
Feb  4 01:12:44 firefly kernel:   jiffies              <a73e11>
Feb  4 01:12:44 firefly kernel:   next_to_watch.status <0>

Tried these hotfixes:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...group_id=42302
and
http://www.kaltenbrunner.cc/blog/ind...e-of-them.html

Both were useless

First they are usually referred to as Nics not ethers. Using unusual terminology will limit your replies.

My only other suggestion would be to try a newer kernel and hope that whatever is causing the issue has been fixed. Current kernel is .24(as opposed to .18) if I remember correctly.
