Description Ivo Sabev 2010-10-14 18:20:12 UTC
I wanted to transfer my home directory to the new laptop I bought.
The new laptop hangs after first several seconds of transfer. I used smb and ftp to verify it is not because of higher level protocols.
I am attaching dmesg,lspci -vvv -k,config.gz. I made network captures for the smb and ftp, but they are too large to uplaod here. Please specify a way to uplaod them or tell me and I can setup some way to share them to you if needed.
Source of transfer - 10.0.0.1 (old laptop), destination - 10.0.0.2 (new laptop)
Network card in use:
Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller (rev b0)

When I use: 04:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR9285 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)

everything works just fine

atl1e is maintained by Atheros directly.  Calling upon Jie Yang to
look into this bug.
Comment 3 Ivo Sabev 2011-01-14 14:26:35 UTC
Hello,
May I help with additional logs, traces, debugs?
If needed, just let me know.
Comment 4 Jay Cliburn 2011-01-15 13:23:49 UTC
I'm not sure why Atheros isn't being responsive.  

I see no patches in recent git-logs that address something like what you're reporting.

Unfortunately I have no way to troubleshoot, since I don't have a atl1e device in my machines.

Can you provide the output of:

ethtool -k eth0

Perhaps we can turn off some features and see if it helps.
Comment 5 Ivo Sabev 2012-01-15 20:40:16 UTC
Hello,
after year of using something else, I return to this, upgraded to 2.6.37 and get the same thing.
So ethtool-k gives:
root@summerborn:/usr/src# ethtool -k eth0
Offload parameters for eth0:
rx-checksumming: on
tx-checksumming: on
scatter-gather: on
tcp-segmentation-offload: on
udp-fragmentation-offload: off
generic-segmentation-offload: on
generic-receive-offload: off
large-receive-offload: off
rx-vlan-offload: on
tx-vlan-offload: on
ntuple-filters: off
receive-hashing: off

Planning move to 3.2 but do not know whether it will help....
Comment 6 Alan 2012-08-14 11:13:07 UTC
Did 3.2 help ?
Comment 7 Ivo Sabev 2012-09-24 20:26:30 UTC
Hello,
installed Ubuntu 64 12.04 with kernel 3.2.0.31
Same issues, now seeing issues with aetheros Wireless as well.
Please specify what files and output do you need for this to progress if possible?
Comment 8 Jay Cliburn 2012-09-25 14:16:00 UTC
ATL1E is maintained by Atheros itself, not by me.  Adding Atheros
contact to cc list.

Xiong, can you please direct this bug to the appropriate engineer?

Thanks,
Jay

Hi Ivo:   
    what "The new laptop hangs" means: the new laptop can't accept input or only the ethernet card can't transfer data? Could you give the snapshot of the last ten lines in your smb and ftp capture file.
