Since this was just seen, and the patch below validated as working I wanted to send general email to capture this: The Lenovo X60 can have issues with long ping times, this is a KNOWN hardware problem, and Intel is working with IBM/Lenovo, a final 'fix' has not been decided on yet. Nevertheless, the patch below will work, but I do not want to check it in as its still temporary. Address questions to me, Jack PS This is based on 6.2, but is needed for CURRENT as well. --- if_em.dist.c Wed Jan 17 17:59:46 2007 +++ if_em.c Wed Jan 17 18:03:13 2007 _at__at_ -3348,6 +3348,10 _at__at_ E1000_WRITE_REG(&adapter->hw, RXCSUM, reg_rxcsum); } + /* TEMPORARY WORKAROUND for X60 */ + if (adapter->hw.mac_type == em_82573) + E1000_WRITE_REG(&adapter->hw, RDTR, 32); + /* Enable Receives */ E1000_WRITE_REG(&adapter->hw, RCTL, reg_rctl); /*Received on Wed Jan 17 2007 - 19:58:06 UTC
