Hello, we are a VoIP service provider and we use debian in all of our
systems. We recently installed two new debian 5 stable servers for
asterisk, and we are having problems with the e1000e driver. The
network interface suddenly goes down and stops working. I will specify :
Kernel version : 2.6.26-1-amd64 #1 SMP Fri Mar 13 17:46:45 UTC 2009
x86_64 GNU/Linux
Ethernet card ( dual ) : 0a:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel
Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06)
0a:00.1 Ethernet controller:
Intel Corporation 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06)
We have two more integrated cards from BroadCom, that uses bnx2
driver, the cards are model :
Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708
1000Base-T (B2) PCI-X 64-bit 133MHz
I just can't find anything related to the card problem at
/var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages, it just goes down. Are you in
the know of any bug or error with this kernel version, what can I do
to fix it ?
Thank you.
Yes, there is a problem - the support for the broadcom is NOT included
in the install CD's. It was decided that is non-free, and this troubles
somewhat the installation with many servers. Look at firmware-bnx2
package, you'll need to unpack it and provide it on usb in order to
install lenny, OR after the installation install the same package and
reboot.
