sis190 drops all traffic (doesn't support my PHY?)

[Chris Boyle]

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.24-19-generic

I have an ethernet port on my motherboard, which the sis190 module tries to handle, but no packets can be sent or received.

00:04.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter [1039:0191] (rev 02)

There's a log line "0000:00:04.0: Unknown PHY transceiver at address 1." and adding some debug output shows that the PHY in question has id 0x001c, 0xc912. Googling these numbers gives me a possibly useful file:

ftp://202.65.194.212/cn/phy/RTL8212_RTL8212N_RTL8211N_DataSheet_1.2.pdf

...suggesting that the PHY might be an RTL8211/2. I note that RTL8201 is already in mii_chip_table on line 318 of sis190.c. Unfortunately adding my PHY to that table doesn't seem to help.

I am of course happy to provide any further information that mght be helpful and to try out suggested patches.

The Ubuntu Kernel Team is planning to move to the 2.6.27 kernel for the upcoming Intrepid Ibex 8.10 release. As a result, the kernel team would appreciate it if you could please test this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. There are one of two ways you should be able to test:

1) If you are comfortable installing packages on your own, the linux-image-2.6.27-* package is currently available for you to install and test.

--or--

2) The upcoming Alpha5 for Intrepid Ibex 8.10 will contain this newer 2.6.27 Ubuntu kernel. Alpha5 is set to be released Thursday Sept 4. Please watch http://www.ubuntu.com/testing for Alpha5 to be announced. You should then be able to test via a LiveCD.

Please let us know immediately if this newer 2.6.27 kernel resolves the bug reported here or if the issue remains. More importantly, please open a new bug report for each new bug/regression introduced by the 2.6.27 kernel and tag the bug report with 'linux-2.6.27'. Also, please specifically note if the issue does or does not appear in the 2.6.26 kernel. Thanks again, we really appreicate your help and feedback.

[Chris Boyle (cmb)]

I have tested linux-image-2.6.27-4-generic (i386) just now, and this bug is still present.

[sergiomb (sergio-sergiomb)]

hum, I not use ubuntu , but finally I found someone with exactly same hardware and same problem .

on linux-2.6.27 ,
dmesg | grep 04.0
Read Mac address from eeprom
Realtek PHY RTL8201 transceiver as address 1.
...
seams pretty, I get IP from dhcp but after that , can't even ping the gateway

[sergiomb (sergio-sergiomb)]

ah and just on x86_64 64 bits , on 32 bits seems that work ok , at least work with a boot usb kernel 2.6.23

[Noxville (bensteenhuisen)]

This problem still persists on 2.6.27-7-generic ..... Can get arp traffic from PC's [arp -an] but no traffic..

[Maci (gergo-nemeth)]

Hi!

 I've got the same problem under Ubuntu 9.04 beta... I found this bugreport also, but no response :D

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12090

Did someone solve that problem yet?

[kernel-janitor (kernel-janitor)]

Hi Chris,

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If it remains an issue, could you run the following command from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal). It will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report.

apport-collect -p linux-image-`uname -r` 253094

Also, if you could test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.

Thanks in advance.

Good news everyone: The latest development snapshot of 9.10 works like a charm. I hope we will soon give a working kernel for 9.04 too.

[Leann Ogasawara (leannogasawara)]

Marking this Fix Released against Karmic 9.10 based on the previous comment.

[Leandro Oliveira (leandro-dataworks)]

Hello,

I´m just to try in 8.04.3 LTS and works fine, since mtu is set to 1492.
Don´t me ask why.

2.6.31-10-generic (2.6.31-10.34, i386) works for me on the hardware described in my original report (MTU is 1500). Thanks. :-)

[Leandro Oliveira (leandro-dataworks)]

Hello all,

I tried kernel 2.6.31-10-server and this work correctly. This kernel solve
another problem with AHCI too.

Thanks in advance!
