Description Andy Gospodarek 2010-02-18 22:14:19 UTC

Description of problem:

When using the upstream (current net-next-2.6) ixgbe driver and the latest driver proposed for RHEL5.5 we see failures reported by the iommu when receiving data:

TCP MAERTS TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 11.0.0.2 (11.0.0.2) port 0 AF_INET

Comment 2 Andy Gospodarek 2010-05-25 21:41:01 UTC

We have #1 in RHEL5.5 and will add the other two in RHEL5.6 as they are not really that critical.  I'm going to close this as a dup of bug 568153.
