Hi @all,

we have installed a dual port Brodcam Gigabit Ethernet NIC, and get the following error in dmesg:

tg3: eth1 No interrupt was generated using MSI, switching to INTx mode. Please report this failure to the PCI maintainer and include system chipset information.

Who is responsible for this error message? We are using Kernel 2.6.21.1 and the NIC Chipset is a Broadcom BCM5715CKPBG

Regards,

Marc

This message means that your system chipset (not the NIC) does not support MSI. Please provide lspci -vvv to show the system chipset on your system. Thanks.
