Package: firmware-bnx2
Version: 0.33
Severity: normal
I have played around with configuring a public IP with my T1 provider today and
fianlly got it to work. However it does not work externally (outside of the
network) after a reboot.
The server I'm using is a Dell PowerEdge and it apparently uses the BNX2
firmware. I have found that I can get the public IP addresses I assigned
externally if I were to restart /etc/init.d/networking.
I have took a look at the kernel log and the only thing I see that looks like
it could be the problem is as below.
Nov 10 21:18:50 server kernel: [ 28.479518] alloc irq_desc for 115 on node
-1
Nov 10 21:18:50 server kernel: [ 28.479521] alloc kstat_irqs on node -1
Nov 10 21:18:50 server kernel: [ 28.479530] bnx2 0000:02:00.0: irq 115 for
MSI/MSI-X
This message appeares repeatedly 18 times which brings me to think it is my
issue. I have created a workaround init script which depends on network and
waits 2 seconds before stopping and
starting the networking service and one other service which does not work after
restarting the network until it's restarted.
An example of my network interface configuration is below.
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.90
netmask 255.255.255.0
allow-hotplug eth0
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 111.111.111.122
netmask 255.255.255.248
gateway 111.111.111.121
I would not know of anything else that would be required to configure another
network interface.
So this bugreport is more of a bug with an unkown cause, however I am pretty
persistent and will test things out durring the weekend if I receive
suggestions.
