-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, I have a *very* strange problem, unfortunately it's kind of a show stopper regarding the deployment of the machine. :( I have two Intel Gigabit Ethernet NICs on board (Supermicro-based Server), quoting lspci (full output see at the end of the email): 0d:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) (rev 03) 0f:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller While the first device (seen as eth0) does *not* allow to set a different MTU (tried with 1576 and 1546, both values I could use; I am forced to use values >1500 here due to protocol stuff), the second works without a problem. dmesg shows: eth0: Unsupported MTU setting ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not ready eth1: changing MTU from 1500 to 1576 ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready 802.1Q VLAN Support v1.8 Ben Greear <greearb at candelatech.com> All bugs added by David S. Miller <davem at redhat.com> ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0.543: link is not ready ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0.820: link is not ready e1000e: eth0 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0.543: link becomes ready ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0.820: link becomes ready e1000e: eth1 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth1: link becomes ready The MTU is set as usual in the ifcfg-ethN files as 'MTU=1576', e.g. I tried with kernel 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5.028stab070.2 (OpenVZ) as well as the vanilla CentOS kernels 2.6.18-194.8.1.el5 and 2.6.18-194.11.1.el5 -- same problem. Has anybody an idea what goes wrong here?
