Description Jon Nelson 2009-08-27 21:32:22 UTC

When transferring data using a via velocity, the non-IP counters are not incremented. Most easily seen when using iptraf.  The counters are always zero.

Kernel: 2.6.27.31

Comment 1 Andrew Morton 2009-08-27 21:52:21 UTC

I assigned this to Francois.

2.6.27 is pretty old.

Comment 4 Francois Romieu 2009-08-31 22:29:09 UTC

Jon, can you try the patches above ?

The former patch should fix your problem and the latter ought to provide some
statistics through 'ethtool -S'.

I have applied the patches (with some fuzz) to 2.6.27.29 and they work great.
Thanks!

iptraf (and ethtool -S) show numbers again.

I have applied the patches to the *latest* git versions (with some fuzz) and they work great.

Applied as of 6148a47ac3872092d4bc4888838bec6dff16654d.
