Synopsis: [re] CARP messages filtered by Realtek driver on > 6.2 (regression) Responsible-Changed-From-To: freebsd-net->gavin Responsible-Changed-By: gavin Responsible-Changed-When: Tue Apr 29 18:13:53 UTC 2008 Responsible-Changed-Why: I'll try and get further info from the submitter. To submitter: Firstly, does "ifconfig re0 promisc" make any difference? Secondly, you could try getting the most recent versions of the driver files from: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/dev/re/if_re.c?rev=1.46.2.39;content-type=text%2Fplain http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/src/sys/pci/if_rlreg.h?rev=1.51.2.13;content-type=text%2Fplain put the first into /usr/src/sys/dev/re and the second into /usr/src/sys/pci, recompile the kernel and test. Thirdly, if that hasn't fixed it, we need to establish when the breakage happened. The easiest way is to try different kernels (you shouldn't need to recompile the userland for this), and basically try to establish when the breakage was introduced to 6.x. Assuming you are using csup or cvsup to update your system, add the following line: *default date=2007.07.14.00.00.00 Then csup will bring sources down as they were on the 1st of August. Recompile, and see if CARP still works with that kernel. If so, move the date forward, and if not, go backwards in time. Some useful dates to try will probably be: 2007.02.01.00.00.00 2007.04.20.00.00.00 2007.05.01.00.00.00 2007.08.01.00.00.00 2007.09.20.00.00.00 2007.12.01.00.00.00 i.e. in the worst case, you may have to recompile your kernel three times to figure out between which of the above dates the breakage occured. (For reference, 6.2 was released on 2007.01.15, with 6.3 on 2008.01.18) http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=123166
