           Summary: Netgear GA320T(tg3) strange errors and non-workingness
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
     KernelVersion: 2.6.22.12 (openSUSE 10.3)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Network
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]

Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.4.something

Distribution: openSUSE 10.3

Hardware Environment: Athlon XP 2200+
Software Environment: 2.6.22.12
Problem Description: this bug is being created from a mailing list discussion.

I've got a pair of GiG-E
cards that do not work correctly. Everything appears to come up just fine, but sooner or later (typically fairly quickly) the cards weird out and never really come back.

The best info I've got is this:

I see we have a new thread for this...

Jon, maybe it's only me, but this really looks strange. I don't know this board, but probably these interrupts shouldn't look like this. It seems there is a problem with detecting your apic. I'm not sure if this is a default SUSE kernel, but maybe it would be better to try some current live-cd distro with good hardware detection. tg3 card & driver seem to have quite good opinions, especially if msi interrupts could be used.

Btw., these logs (dmesg, lspci) could be much longer... (Somebody might even think you have something to hide; it would be better to mask only personal data then.)

Cheers,
Jarek P.

The lspci is exactly as it was output. The dmesg is shortened only slightly. The kernel is the latest available for openSUSE 10.3. No MSI because this is an Athlon XP (read: 32bit, single core, regular old 33MHz, 32bit PCI).

The interrupts look *exactly* the same with or without noapic. This board doesn't have apic as far as I know. It's an ECS K7S5A I think.

Does that help?

The lspci doesn't look correct to me either. We don't have AGP capability on these network cards. Please provide:

lspci -vvxxx -s0:0:b.0

Yes. You might be right with these interrupts. But, dmesg doesn't really show enough. Try to paste this all, at least until the first WATCHDOG time out and card reset.

Thanks,
