sk98lin problem on Shuttle SN95G5 + SuSE 9.1 x86_64
Hello,
I'm using the Shuttle SN95G5 + SuSE 9.1 x86_64. Everything is working fine other than the ethernet. The ethernet is working but the kernel (2.6.5-7.111-default) gives the following message many times. eth0: -- ERROR -- Class: internal Software error Nr: 0x19e Msg: Vpd: Cannot read VPD keys I found the same problem but it was not the answer. bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=136158 I updated the driver (6.23) to the newest (7.09), but the error continues to appear. www .syskonnect.de/syskonnect/support/driver/htm/sk9e21_lin.htm And the traffic statistics is always 0. So, the SNMP doesn't work. I'd like to improve this most. # cat /proc/net/sk98lin/eth0 Detailed statistic for device eth0 ======================================= Board statistics Card name Vendor/Device ID 11ab/4320 Card type (Bit) 32 Active Port A Preferred Port A Interrupt Moderation disabled Bus speed (MHz) 0 Bus width (Bit) 0 Driver version 7.09 (05) Driver release date Oct-20-2004 Hardware revision v1.3 Receive statistics Received bytes 0 Received packets 0 Receive errors 0 Receive dropped 0 Received multicast 0 Transmit statistics Transmitted bytes 0 Transmitted packets 0 Transmit errors 0 Transmit dropped 0 Transmit collisions 0 # cat /proc/net/dev Inter-| Receive | Transmit face |bytes packets errs drop fifo frame compressed multicast|bytes packets errs drop fifo colls carrier compressed lo: 544267 7265 0 0 0 0 0 0 544267 7265 0 0 0 0 0 0 sit0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 eth0: 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 I'd appreciate your advice.

fix found for sn95g5 vpd errors with lan device
I found a fix for this problem; it's a dos-patch released by ASUS for their K8V board. Even though it's a different board, the SN95G5 uses the same Marvell Yukon Gigabit lan chip with the same problem. I found that patch worked on three of my systems.
The patch can be found at: http://www.asus.com/support/download...ch.zip~zaqwedc Good luck. |
