Bug 31102

Summary: [lge] lge + Pentium III data transmission problem
Product: Base System Reporter: Sam Choong Wai <bigbird>
Component: kernAssignee: freebsd-bugs (Nobody) <bugs>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me    
Priority: Normal    
Version: Unspecified   
Hardware: Any   
OS: Any   

Description Sam Choong Wai 2001-10-07 19:00:01 UTC 
Case 1:
Recompile kernel with "device lge" + "SMP" in a dual Pentium II 400MHz machine, everything work just fine !

Case 2:
Recompile kernel with "device lge" + "SMP" in a single Pentium III 1G machine, some data transmission became "corrupted", there are: samba, ftp ( so far I tried ), but telnet and ping worked just fine.

Case 3:
Same as case 2 but in a dual PIII 1G machine, same problem.

Is this bug still present in more recent releases?

Hello,

I think I can confirm that the bug still exists in recent releases:

4.8-RC FreeBSD 4.8-RC #0: Mon Mar 24 14:28:41 CET 2003

The machine in question is an IBM xSeries 330. This is a dual-CPU capable 
mainboad. Our machine is only equipped with a single CPU:

CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) III CPU family      1266MHz (1263.07-MHz 686-class 
CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x6b1  Stepping = 1 
Features=0x383fbff<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA
,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,MMX,FXSR,SSE>
real memory  = 536788992 (524208K bytes)
avail memory = 518930432 (506768K bytes)

The GigaBit card is a D-Link DGE-500SX:

lge0: <Level 1 Gigabit Ethernet> port 0x2400-0x24ff mem 
0xefffec00-0xefffefff irq 10 at device 5.0 on pci1

miibus2: <MII bus> on lge0
xmphy0: <Jato 1000baseX media interface> on miibus2

lost connection

Well, the same problem can be reproduced with FTP. I tried to FTP 
compressed tar archives from several different locations, they all were 
broken.

I tried two kernel configurations: With SMP compiled in and without SMP, 
both show the same problem.

There seems to be a serious software flaw here, the card is completely 
useless under FreeBSD using this configuration. (I will maybe try to check 
with Linux to see if the problem persists).

Kind regards

Assign to lge driver author for attention.

Is this still a problem in RELENG_6/7?
