Problem with NC375i and NC375T on RedHat Linux5
I have a Proliant DL370 G6 with 2 nics
- one nic HP NC375i (firmware 4.0.520)
- one nix HP NC375T (firmware 4.0.520)
I installed RedHat Linux 5 kernel version 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5
On linux has been automatically loaded netxen_nic drivers but these are not the right drivers.
Right drivers are nx_nic
Infact, both nics works correctly but
- ethtool command doesn't work. If I use command
ethtool -s eth0 speed 100
I receive error:
Cannot set new settings: Input/output error
also I cannot update the firmware
If I execute CP013658.scexe I receive this error:
Please install nx_nic rpm.Need nx_xport driver to continue)
If I install nx_nic drivers (I try by installing PSP 8.60 and also I try manually with with hp-nx_nic-4.0.534-2.src.rpm ) interfaces from eth4 to eth7 (on nic NC375T) works correctly while interfaces from eth0 to eth3 (on nic NC375i) don't work and I receive error messages :
Device eth0 has different MAC address than expected
Device eth1 has different MAC address than expected
Device eth2 has different MAC address than expected
Device eth3 has different MAC address than expected
but MAC address, in every ifcfg-ethX file, is correct.
Uninstalling hp-nx_nic driver and using again netxen_nic interfaces work correctly (but I cannot use ethtool command and I cannot update firmware).
Any idea?

Re: Problem with NC375i and NC375T on RedHat Linux5
pretty much same thing here... Link is up @100 HD, need to set it to 100FD - no luck so far. Will let you know if I figure this out.

Re: Problem with NC375i and NC375T on RedHat Linux5
I did it but I have same problem.
I don't know if upgrading NIC's firmware from firmware DVD will solve the problem (I cannot try because servers are in production environment...)
Please try upgrading firmware and let me know

Re: Problem with NC375i and NC375T on RedHat Linux5
When I asked to change port configuration all works correctly but the problem on the HP NIC still remains because I cannot upgrade my nic firmware and I cannot set speed and duplex with ethtool.

Re: Problem with NC375i and NC375T on RedHat Linux5
But, as I wrote before, I cannot:
- use ethtool command
- upgrade my firmware
because the driver loaded is not the correct driver.
I post again the problem:
"I installed RedHat Linux 5 kernel version 2.6.18-194.17.4.el5

Re: Problem with NC375i and NC375T on RedHat Linux5
Alas, I'm afraid I cannot help with the firmware issue, and will suggest that you definitely fire-up the support contract and get a defect logged via the response center.
As to the forcing 100Mbit/s issue, if the NIC works fine at 1Gbit/s why do you want to cripple it to 100 Mbit/s? If you have applications which are broken and so cannot control their rates, and if setting specific, smaller socket buffer sizes does not or cannot bring their rates down, you might look into using tc/netem to throttle them.

Re: Problem with NC375i and NC375T on RedHat Linux5
Also I need to have full control of my nic card and I want to use the right drivers.
