SiS190 ethernet driver fails in 64 bits Kubuntu Jaunty.

[Iñigo Lekanda]

My computer is a Asus X59SL (AP382C) notebook.

With Kubuntu Jaunty 64 bits (Alpha 5) SiS190 ethernet driver fails. The 32 bits version has not problem.

The module load correctly. The driver get IP via DHCP but don't receive traffic. Apparently only send traffic. Ping show "Destination host unreachable.

The routes are correctly. The commands lspci y dmesg in 64 bits version show this:

I can confirm this bug on Ubuntu Jaunty 64-beta, but for me it just started recently. I'm not sure what triggers it but it seems to work at full speed before loading the graphical desktop. So if I boot into recovery mode and run 'netroot' and 'dpkg' scripts, packages come in at 500 kB/s. In the graphical environment they get pulled in at 16kB/s.

My internet connection speed (from speedtest.net) has dropped from 5+Mb/s down to 0.25 Mb/s. Other computers on the network get full speed, so it is not my ISP. Also, this computer booted on an 8.10 or 9.04 Beta Live CD (without updates) and they both get full speed.

Sorry, I confused the driver on this bug (sis190) with my issue with sis900. I have created this new bug for my hardware:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/362457

Keeping status Confirmed since Maci has confirmed Iñigo Lekanda's bug.
It may be helpful if one of you can upload the output of the following command to see the sis190 module loaded.

$ lspci -vvnn | grep -A20 -i ethernet > ~/lspci-vvnn.txt

It would also be useful to check the speed before the graphical desktop is loaded (in recover mode).

Problem still exists in Ubuntu 9.04 RC.

[Taylor Nelson (tjbn)]

The driver fails to detect link status and fails to provide any sort of connection, I have successfully patched the driver with the link detection code found in the mandriva sis190.c to no avail. I named my patched version 1.3(1.2 didn't work either).

It looks like something going to be happen:

Sérgio M Basto from bugzilla.kernel.org posted a patch for sis190 driver which - hopefully - fix our problem with this driver with 64bit kernel.

Here is the kernel git tree:

Please commit this patch as soon as possible to the stable x86_64 Ubuntu and Kubuntu kernels to start testing the fixed driver.

Made that change to my 2.6.29.4 kernel. Did not change anything. The problem still remains here.

[Tobi Mayer (v-launchpad-tobiasm-de)]

Well, i did something wrong. It works, great! Thank you!

[Maci (gergo-nemeth)]

Hi!

 As far as I can remember, bug was fixed in 2.6.31.9 upstream kernel, though mtu needs to be set to 1492 to get the NIC work properly.

This bug was filed against a series that is no longer supported and so is being marked as Won't Fix. If this issue still exists in a supported series, please file a new bug.
