This driver also has frequent lockups: [...]
Strange, shouldn't we have found a working one by now?
That was the last bisection step, given that I had specified the v3.5 version as working, following comment 10. These results seem to say that "eb2dc35 r8169: RxConfig hack for the 8168evl." is the commit that fixes your issue. Although this is the patch you had asked for in comment 0, it's completely unexpected to me. That patch affects only RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_34 whereas you have a RTL_GIGA_MAC_VER_12. I've updated the KMP once again to include this patch. srcversion is now eb2dc35.
In between the tests I used a driver from the early tests that is stable:
# strings r8169.ko | grep srcversion srcversion=5E0D51589ACA097D2A990F7
This is the module generated from r2 or r3 of the OBS project. It contains the v3.6-rc1 driver version (minus one missing patch, my mistake).
What now?
Can you please test the updated KMP, once again? If it does work: 1) I'll be extremely surprised 2) We'll do a final test with the current 3.4 version plus only the eb2dc35 patch If it turns out that it does not work, we'll keep bisecting between 3.5..3.6-rc1 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
