Sun Fire V210 NIC's don't work



Hi,

I attempted to configure a second nic on my server and added the new config to the /etc/network/interfaces file however I am left with dmesg errors:

[ 44.418128] tg3 0003:00:02.0: eth1: Tigon3 [partno(none) rev 2100] (PCI:66MHz:64-bit) MAC address 00:14:4f:5d:1e:80 [ 44.555470] tg3 0003:00:02.0: eth1: attached PHY is 5704 (10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet) (WireSpeed[1]) [ 44.675644] tg3 0003:00:02.0: eth1: RXcsums[1] LinkChgREG[0] MIirq[0] ASF[0] TSOcap[1]

The switch which the port is connected to shows physical link and is provisioned properly for the correct vlan, the first NIC eth0 is also connected to the same switch and is working fine but still producing errors:

I have tried loading the firmware from:

http://wiki.debian.org/Firmware

and putting it into /lib/firmware/tigon however then both NICs fail??


Could anyone suggest anything? With any other OS the system is fine so I'm guessing it's a kernel bug or so.....



Regards,


Kaya
