2015-08-18 20:30 GMT+02:00 Frank Wille <[email protected]>: > What's wrong with stge(4)? Compare our driver to the FreeBSD one, derived from us. It seems FreeBSD's heavily improved in the meantime, but the changes were never re-imported. I try to summarise: We have no HW VLAN tagging, no jumbo frames (?), the discussed PHY/link issues, ST-1023 (and compatible IP1000A, as can be also seen even in your ifconfig output) is in promiscuous mode all the time as work-around, I remember a bug/panics related to stge_intr() reported on port-sandpoint (fixed?), possibly sub-optimal performance, and an indicative amount of "XXX" in the driver... All this seems to be fixed/supported in FreeBSD, probably because they also had many specs (and testers) available: http://people.freebsd.org/~wpaul/Sundance/ > It might be good when somebody repeats the test. It could also be caused > by strange effects in my network infrastructure. Or it could be caused by stge(4)... As said, I will receive a DSM-G600 (IP1000A), too, and a D-Link DGE-550T (DL-2000) as different stge(4) representatives and would be willing to help or work on improving the situation. Regards, Felix
