Date: Thu, 14 Mar 2013 09:54:17 -0700 From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...capital.net> To: Network Development <netdev@...r.kernel.org> Cc: e1000-devel@...ts.sourceforge.net Subject: em1 is visible to iproute2 but not ethtool or tcpdump My e1000e device is em1. It has this rather strange behavior on Fedora's 3.8.1 (although 3.7.something did the same thing, I believe): $ ip link show dev em1 6: em1: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN qlen 1000 link/ether f0:de:f1:59:f6:c9 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff $ strace -e socket,ioctl ethtool em1 socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_IP) = 3 Settings for em1: ioctl(3, SIOCETHTOOL, 0x7fffa6c554d0) = -1 ENODEV (No such device) Cannot get device settings: No such device ioctl(3, SIOCETHTOOL, 0x7fffa6c554d0) = -1 ENODEV (No such device) Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: No such device ioctl(3, SIOCETHTOOL, 0x7fffa6c554d0) = -1 ENODEV (No such device) Cannot get message level: No such device ioctl(3, SIOCETHTOOL, 0x7fffa6c554d0) = -1 ENODEV (No such device) Cannot get link status: No such device No data available +++ exited with 75 +++ $ sudo tcpdump -i em1 tcpdump: em1: SIOETHTOOL(ETHTOOL_GTSO) ioctl failed: No such device A sufficient number of rmmod/modprobe cycles will make it work. This is, perhaps, helpful: $ sudo ip link set dev em1 name foobar RTNETLINK answers: Device or resource busy $ sudo ip link set dev em1 down $ sudo ip link set dev em1 name foobar $ sudo ethtool foobar Settings for foobar: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: No Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: Unknown!

I suspect a core networking bug, not an e1000e bug, but I cc'd the e1000 people just in case. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
