@Wonko,
I've updated the driver to the latest version from broadcom.com, version 3.137h; and I am still experiencing a similar issue. However, when the driver crashes, sometimes (70%) chance that the machine is useable, and another 30% the machine is totally locked up. The NIC i am using is new, its product ID is 1687, and has an external PHY Rev. of 5762C. I am able to replicate it with the following methods: 1. Start the tg3 machine 2. from another machine: start 5 sessions, repetitively copy (scp with public key authentication) a 70 meg file back and forth to the tg3 machine in each session. (not sure if this is necessary) 3. create a 1GB file on the tg3 machine, with something like dd if=/dev/urandom of=/my/test/file bs=1024 count=$((1024*100)) 4. from another machine: repetitively scp copy that 1GB file from the tg3 machine. This can be done with something like: while [ 0 ]; do scp -i /my/scp/private.key u...@ip.of.tg3:/my/test/file / done; I've done it about 40 times, and the tg3 machine will crash anywhere from 5 minutes to 50 minutes into the test. I am still scratching my head over this bug, and as a matter of fact, we are thinking about switching to an Intel or Realtek NIC, if we can not get this resolved soon. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1331513 Title: 14e4:165f tg3 eth1: transmit timed out, resetting on BCM5720 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-poweredge/+bug/1331513/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
