Description Bill Nottingham 2006-08-10 03:06:27 UTC
Description of problem:


eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0D:60:39:C0:63  
          UP BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

Something about some of those numbers doesn't look right.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

2.6.17-1.2530.fc6

# ethtool  -i eth0
driver: e1000
version: 7.1.9-k4-NAPI

Comment 1 John W. Linville 2006-09-25 20:06:17 UTC
Please try the test kernels here:

   http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/fc6/

Do these exhibit similar stats problems?

Seems to be the same. The counters seem to go wacky after resume from
suspend-to-ram.

Comment 3 Auke Kok 2006-09-27 20:48:21 UTC
I've seen it, but can't confirm that it's a driver problem. I'll need more time
on it.

Comment 4 Auke Kok 2006-10-25 21:55:41 UTC
check ethtool -S ethX - you'll see they're all 0xffffffff values, something is
reading the stats before the pci device is back online.

Comment 5 Auke Kok 2006-11-03 19:09:31 UTC
I have a fix which will be sent to netdev shorty.
