[Bug 577564] Re: e1000 driver unstable

[DanielW]

I may have inadvertently found a work-around.

As a test, I blacklisted e1000 by editing:

/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
blacklist e1000

I then ran:

update-initramfs -u -k `uname -r`

I rebooted and logged in and ran

sudo modprobe e1000

The previous netcat tests exhibited the failure within 30 seconds.  I
have ran this test for over 3 hours and it has not gone down.

However another problem was revealed with this netcat testing procedure.

While I ran this procedure I ran jnettop on the my machine to monitor
the connection.

intel e1000 rate: 20.8M/s
nvidia forcedeth rate: 65.8M/s

***************************************

netcat test procedure
packet producer is my machine
packet receiver is on another machine connected by ethernet switch.

Receiver:
netcat -v -v -l -n -p 2222 >/dev/null

producer command:
time yes|nc -v -v -n <Receiver IP> 2222 >/dev/null
Press ctrl-c when finished

Thanks,
Danielbw
