have tried everything possible short of testing a different network card |
| 2 |
because I do not have one. I have delt with IMB support but since I run |
| 3 |
gentoo they are not much if any help at all. I compiled the drivers they |
| 4 |
provide with the same results. I tried booting from gentoo live disk.. I am |
| 5 |
running out of ideas. I have tried doing this on different network switches |
| 6 |
differnt cables... and still nothing. |

I can not lower the mtu on *any* on my Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme nics. |
| 9 |
I |
| 10 |
have 5 of these boxes! Same results on all. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
my test is this: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
ping -s 5000 somehost.inmy.lan |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
works as expected. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
ifconfig eth0 mtu 1492 |
| 19 |
ping -s 5000 somehost.inmy.lan |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
nothing.. and of course I set my mtu back to 1500 everything works fine. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I have done this same test with machines with different nics and everything |
| 24 |
works. |

I am building 2.6.20 now in hopes it may fix something. |

Any ideas? |
