Hi to all
In this link i read the version of broadcom driver version by PVE team:
http://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Roadmap#Proxmox_VE_3.2
The important line say: "update Broadcom bnx2/bnx2x drivers to 7.6.62"
Note only as comment: The latest version driver is "7.8.56", according to this link:
http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethe...etxtremeii.php
But if I run by CLI "lshw", i see this (summary mode):
*-network:0
description: Ethernet interface
product: NetXtreme BCM5720 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe
vendor: Broadcom Corporation
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0
logical name: eth0
version: 00
serial: f0:1f:af:d9:87:a1
size: 100Mbit/s
capacity: 1Gbit/s
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm vpd msi msix pciexpress bus_master cap_list rom ethernet physical tp 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt 1000bt-fd autonegotiation
configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=tg3 driverversion=3.132 duplex=full firmware=FFV7.8.53 bc 5720-v1.32 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=twisted pair speed=100Mbit/s
resources: irq:16 memory:d50a0000-d50affff(prefetchable) memory:d50b0000-d50bffff(prefetchable) memory:d50c0000-d50cffff(prefetchable) memory:db000000-db03ffff(prefetchable)
The important notice is that the communication is "100Mbit/s" and not "1Gbit/s", the driver is "tg3" and not "bnx2" or "bnx2x".
After of restart my PVE node the speed come back to "1Gbit/s", but not for much time, that is is diminished to "100Mbit/s".
Note: My server is a DELL with the NICs in the mainboard.
Can somebody of the PVE team explain me about of this?, and if is there a quick solution? (i believe that i need to do a blacklist, but i am unsure about of how do it)
A requests to the PVE team:
1- Can add the latest version of this driver in the next kernel release and correct whatever it takes for that the changes take effect?
2- Check a little more when it comes to add drivers (i believe that the drivers is the heart of any system)
I hope I have not caused discomfort, i always think that PVE is a excelent product !!! :p
Best regards
