System: NetBSD colwyn.zhadum.de 1.6.1 NetBSD 1.6.1 (COLWYN) #0: Sun Apr 13 15:39:49 CEST 2003 tron@colwyn.zhadum.de:/src/sys/compile/COLWYN i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
I've got an Intel PRO/1000MT Desktop Adapter in a NetBSD-i386 1.6.1 system
which is recognized like this:
wm0 at pci0 dev 10 function 0: Intel i82540EM 1000BASE-T Ethernet, rev. 2
wm0: interrupting at irq 12
wm0: Ethernet address 00:07:e9:0e:bb:33
makphy0 at wm0 phy 1: Marvell 88E1011 Gigabit PHY, rev. 3
If I enable hardware-assisted IPv4 header checksums via "ifconfig wm0 ip4csum"
the machine cannot receive ICMP packets. They are dropped and this kernel
message appears:
wm0: wm_tx_cksum: need to m_pullup, packet dropped
An identical card works without problems in a NetBSD 1.6R system. It seems
that some of the hardware offload fixes need to be pulled up.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to ping a NetBSD 1.6.1 system via a wm(4) interface where the
"ip4csum" capability is enabled.
>Fix:
Pullup necessary fix from NetBSD-current.
