From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: My Adaptec Starfire QuadEthernet does not work under Fedora Core 2, all kernels up to kernel-2.6.7-1.494.2.2. If I try to put some traffic to the card, all I get is eth2: Something Wicked happened! 0x02018101. (or similiar error codes, like 02010001 or 02019101) Under FC1 (kernel 2.4.x, the same card just worked fine)! Any hints? Thanks, Sven Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): all FC2 kernels (2.6.x) How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install FC2 2. ping to something connected by the Starfire card Actual Results: An error message "Something Wicked happened" goes to /var/log/messages. (See above) tcpdump shows no traffic on any device. Expected Results: The card should operate as expected. Additional info:
Hi, Using same setup, upgraded from FC1 to FC2 We have 10 starfire's, all of them exhibit the same issue. Changing hardware does not resolve issues. Cards generate the same reported issues and messages. Interesting: when dumping traffic (TCPDUMP) all frames that should be normal ip traffic are reported as unsupported ethernet type. Really need the starfires to work, as the replacements (we also use Intel 10/100/100 quads) do not work in non 3.3v pci slots. Regards Rein van Koten
Hi I had the same issue with these kind of cards. I still have this issue with FC3 and couldn't get the card work properly. I see everything o.k. but I cannot send a single paket to the network. My solutions is now to use freebsd and the card works there. Peter
Hi, Can anyone tell me whether someone is working on this or if there's some kind of solution? Maybe I've missed something but as far as I know there's not yet a solution or even cause found... Thanx, Rein van Koten
I don't think anyone is. I contacted the people I could find in the MAINTAINERS file and on the net and nobody responded. I gave up now and replaced the card.
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
