Hi,
 
I have a strange problem with my networking setup. I read all forums around the world where people had similar problems, but couldn't find a solution.
 
I have an Attansic L1 gigeth chip on my mainboard. This chip works OK in stock Ubuntu Gutsy (development) 2.6.22-9-generic kernel.
 
When I boot into Xen, and after the bridge is created, the network stops working. Some info:
 
- If I do " /etc/xen/scripts/network-bridge stop "  then the network comes back...
- I can ping sites, but can never "communicate" with them. For example, I can "telnet" to 22th port of an sshd server, receive the "welcome to xyz sshd server etc." but can never send any command. Same for telnet/http/ftp connections. The system also cannot resolve DNS names, but can still ping. Same thing happens inside the DomUs.
- My /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp has " (network-script network-bridge) " and " (vif-script vif-bridge) " directives.
 
ifconfig -a output:

When I run  "  network-bridge start ", the xenbr0 interface is created, brctl shows the bridge is created with two interfaces inside. But, network doesn't work. It seems that I can receive packets but not send.
 
Syslog shows:
 
atl1 0000:03:00.0: Unable to enable MSI: -1
atl1 0000:03:00.0: eth0 link is up 100 Mbps full duplex

Do you have any idea what is causing this? I can give more information if requested. (can't issue the network-bridge start command now as it will disconnect me from the machine if I do so, I'm remotely connected at the moment)
 
P.S. I tried also with a USB ethernet card, same result.
 
Thanks for any insight,
 
Best regards,
 
Emre
