i've googled and this seems to be a problem with a lot of linux installations.

so far themost useful: kernel modules - Linux e1000e (Intel networking driver) problems galore, where do I start? - Server Fault
says about running kernel with ASPM disabled, how do i do this?, or am i better off opening a support ticket(which brings me to the issues that this is running on a trial lic on software until the HW SG arrives...)

  • I was running into the exact same issue: e1000 hanging under large file loads.

    What worked for me was: ethtool -K eth0 tso off

    I don't know what the difference between tso and gso/gro is but as soon as I typed in that command it started to work properly.

    This affects me too with my intel nics. Bummer it wasnt fixed in 9.3

    Thank you, i was looking for someone who testet if this issue was still there in 9.3 :-)

    Would be really nice if Sophos would find a solution to this issue [:(]

    Yes, it would be nice. It's been a very long time. I'm tempted to replace my NICs but I don't know what I'd replace the [FONT="Calibri"]Intel Pro/1000 Dual port Server Adapters with[/FONT].

    anything using the e1000 adaptor or broadcom.  Right now iwth Intel's driver bugs I would go with broadcom.

    Thanks for the reply :-)


    I looked at the HCL (https://sophserv.sophos.com/repo_kb/118185/file/118185_HCL9001.pdf) and I saw Broadcom 5709's listed but not 5709C. Is there a difference? Is the 5709C (BCM95709A0906G) compatible?

    I have a client with a spare server of mine with an ebedded netextreme II nic and it works fine.

    From Broadcom's pages:

    NetXtreme II 1Gb
    BCM5706, BCM5706S, BCM5708, BCM5708S, BCM5709C, BCM5709S, BCM5716, BCM5716S

    so the one driver should cover all of those.
