Hi,
The driver you sent gives me an error when I try to compile and load it with
2.6.11.11:
# make
[...]
CC [M] drivers/net/r8169.o
drivers/net/r8169.c: In function `rtl8169_down':
drivers/net/r8169.c:2589: warning: implicit declaration of function
synchronize_sched
[...]
# insmod drivers/net/r8169.ko
insmod: error inserting 'drivers/net/r8169.ko': -1 Unknown symbol in module
It does a similar thing when I try to install it:
# make modules_install
[...]
if [ -r System.map ]; then /sbin/depmod -ae -F System.map 2.6.11.11; fi
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.11.11/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.ko needs unknown
symbol synchronize_sched
As I noted in a previous email, it doesn't give me this problem when I have
jumbo frames enabled on my switch.
Since I found out my switch supported jumbo frames, I started to toy around
with larger MTUs. When a VLAN's MTU was set to 7200, my system locked up. I
didn't have this problem at 7196. Also, the crash problem wasn't there on a
regular interface with no VLANs and the MTU at 7200.
Thanks,
James Harr
