Bonding problem with embedded Emulex NIC

qvlatrt — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 10:10:09 GMT

Hi to all,

I have problem with bonding miimon=100.

I have HP 1Gb Ethernet Pass-Thru Modules and Emulex and Broadcom NIC.

Bonding with Broadcom NIC is working perfect and with Emulex NIC I have problems:

- When I unplug cable from port Link will staid up (MII Status: up)and traffic will be lost

- WHen I put cable back I have to wait for about 10 minutes that system established physical connection and link become up and start to handle traffic.

Have anybody experienced that same situation?

Regards

Same problem here, the adapter does not detect loss of connection. SO: Debian Linux 6.0 (squeeze). Tried updating both firmware and driver: 4.1.402.20, hp-be2net-4.1.402.6-2 (4.1.402.6) respectively.
