[-- Attachment #1 --] hello, I have issues transfering big or many files over ethernet on 1000H, also. Using yongari's ale(4) driver http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/ale/ale.20081114.tar.gz I did not have any problems while I surf or download 37MB sourcecode from inet. Then scp(1)'ing source from 1000H to desktop PC showed a transfer rate with maximum 86kB/s regardless to which direction is copied. The ethernet NIC, while copying, is switched off regularily then. No copies possible after three megabytes. Next try was a big file. A packed tarball from the source-tree was copied via nc(1) using TCP-protocol. After 7 until 17MB no transfer possible and same symptoms like above. One way I can reproduce this is the following: on desktop PC: $> nc -4nl 1234 > bigfile.tar.gz on 1000H: $> nc -4n 192.x.x.x 1234 < bigfile.tar.gz It makes no difference wether I am a user or root. Tested over a switch and a crossover cable. Does anybody has a hint? best regards. - attachments: As this is my first post, I try to attach my kernelconfig and two sysctl dev.ale.0 (before and after error). - dmesg shows: 1 ale0: <Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCIe Ethernet> port 0xec00-0xec7f mem 0x fbfc0000-0xfbffffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci3 2 ale0: 960 Tx FIFO, 1024 Rx FIFO 3 ale0: Using 1 MSI messages. 4 miibus0: <MII bus> on ale0 5 ale0: Ethernet address: 00:23:54:xx:xx:xx 6 ale0: [FILTER] 7 ale0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 8 ale0: link state changed to UP 9 ale0: DMA read error! -- resetting 10 ale0: could not disable Tx/Rx MAC(0x00000008)! 11 ale0: link state changed to DOWN 12 ale0: link state changed to UP 13 ale0: link state changed to DOWN 14 ale0: link state changed to UP 15 [..] 20 times 16 ale0: DMA read error! -- resetting 17 ale0: could not disable Tx/Rx MAC(0x00000008)! 18 ale0: link state changed to DOWN 19 ale0: link state changed to UP - ifconfig shows: 1 ale0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500 2 options=319b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4> 3 ether 00:23:54:xx:xx:xx 4 inet 192.168.xxx.xxx netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.xxx.255 5 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) 6 status: active - uname -a shows: FreeBSD netbook.net.local 7.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE #0: Sun Nov 16 13:19:19 CET 2008 maya@netbook.net.local:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NETBOOK i386 - kernel was compiled with: make buildkernel KERNCONF=NETBOOK MODULES_OVERRIDE="ath" [-- Attachment #2 --] #
