Sorry about that.  We had to rename that machine.  The new URL is:

<http://wiki.ncsa.uiuc.edu/wiki/Dell_PE1950_NIC_Firmware_Workaround>http://mywiki.ncsa.uiuc.edu/wiki/Dell_PE1950_NIC_Firmware_Workaround

Coincidentally, the outage for the weekly backups is happening right now. The link should work again in a couple of hours.

Hi, I've run into the same issue as:

<http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-07/msg00599.html>http://lists.xensource.com/archives/html/xen-users/2006-07/msg00599.html

In that, running the network bridge script kills networking completely, trying to ping the gateway gives me destination host unreachable.

The card is:

09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 11)

Using the bnx2 module:

filename: /lib/modules/2.6.16-2-xen-686/kernel/drivers/net/bnx2.ko version: 1.4.31 license: GPL description: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5706/5708 Driver author: Michael Chan <mchan@xxxxxxxxxxxx> srcversion: E70D1EF4482674DE649B19D alias: pci:v000014E4d000016ACsv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000014E4d000016AAsv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000014E4d000016AAsv0000103Csd00003102bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000014E4d0000164Csv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000014E4d0000164Asv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000014E4d0000164Asv0000103Csd00003106bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000014E4d0000164Asv0000103Csd00003101bc*sc*i* depends: vermagic: 2.6.16-2-xen-686 SMP 686 gcc-4.0 parm: disable_msi:Disable Message Signaled Interrupt (MSI) (int)

from the debian xen kernel:

Linux xen 2.6.16-2-xen-686 #1 SMP Sun Jul 16 01:42:25 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux

In a dell poweredge 1950

If I swap eth0 from the broadcom to a usb ethernet card using the rtl8150 driver, the bridging works immediately.

I'm using the debian sid xen packages xen-utils 3.0.2+hg9697-2

I've put a tcpdump prepared for ethereal from the xen dom0 here:

<http://www.yerma.org/~pete/temp/xen/dom0>http://www.yerma.org/~pete/temp/xen/dom0

And one from the gateway here:

<http://www.yerma.org/~pete/temp/xen/gateway>http://www.yerma.org/~pete/temp/xen/gateway

Obviously I can work around this using the usb ethernet card, but I'd prefer to use the gigabit nics that I've paid for.

Thanks.
