MV1200/dec211x40 end driver auto negotiation bug,

["Thompson, David H." <thompsondh@ornl.gov>]

Our dec driver has for some time been afflicted with just going dead for no apparent reason.  It is rate but when it happens we end up rebooting the IOC.  The driver seems to be trying to auto negotiate and is stuck.  Messages show up on the console from CA beacons and clients when the entries in the arp table age out.  The mii flags are where we get the idea that it is trying to negotiate, that and the fact that the IOC and the switch port it is connected to are on different speeds.

 

 

 

Does anyone know if WRS ever fixed this? If so is there a reference that I can put my tech contact at WRS on to to see if the driver that is being shipped with vxWorks 6.x includes the fix?  I thought that I had heard that a fix had been done for it, possibly outside the US office of WRS.
