[E1000-devel] problem with e1000 and smp kernel

[Igor S. <ig...@tx...>]

Hi,

Here's my adapter:

01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corp. 82541GI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
  Subsystem: Intel Corp. PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter
  Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV+ VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR+ FastB2B-

I downloaded e1000-6.2.15.tar.gz and built an RPM from it.  It works
with 2.4.21-37.EL kernel but doesn't work with 2.4.21-37.ELsmp -
ethtool -t fails:

The test result is FAIL
The test extra info:
Register test  (offline)         0
Eeprom test    (offline)         0
Interrupt test (offline)         4
Loopback test  (offline)         0
Link test   (on/offline)         0

My distribution is CentOS 3.6.

Any idea?

Thanks

Igor
