Loss of Ethernet adaptor

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



This is a return to an issue I first raised back in June. We had a similar
occurrence in September while I was away and so I am revisiting the entire
matter.

I have run into other reports of similar occurrences and some of these refer
to this bug report:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=632650

However, that report is closed as being  a duplicate of: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=562273

Which is not available to viewing by the great unwashed.

Nonetheless, following the discussion thread in the bug report that I can view
it appears that this issue was supposedly resolved sometime in late 2012. 
>From what I can gather the fix was to disable ASPM L1 for this model adaptor
in the e1000e driver module.

* Upstream commit d4a4206ebbaf48b55803a7eb34e330530d83a889 - e1000e: Disable
ASPM L1 on 82574

However, when I run lspci -vvv on the host that exhibited the problem I see this:

lsmod

The host is running CentOS-6.5 with all updates applied to date.  My question
is: Has this issue been addressed in the official e1000e module or not?  if
not then does the recommendation to "add pcie_aspm=off to your kernel command
line" hold?
