I just checked in a fix to this driver, which should fix this (and other similar) problems. Look out for 2080 or above when that appears. I have verified this probelem as fixed in kernel-2.4.22-1.2087.nptl. Good work. |
Description of problem: fetching ip settings for my bcm4401 network card over dhcp fails with a timeout when I run /sbin/service network restart Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.22-1.2061.nptl How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. have the host on a network with a dhcp server 2. start the network on boot or start it manually with /sbin/ifup ethX 3. run /sbin/service network restart Actual results: after a couple of minute the dhcp request times out, with some ping statistics showing 100% packet loss to the default gateway. Expected results: Successful interface restart Additional info: You can easily work around the problem by running /sbin/service network stop /sbin/rmmod b44 /sbin/service network start instead
