In This Release

===============

This file describes the Linux* Base Driver for the Intel(R) PRO/1000 Family

of Adapters.  This driver includes support for Itanium(R)2-based systems.

For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation

supplied with your Intel PRO/1000 adapter. All hardware requirements listed

apply to use with Linux.

The following features are now available in supported kernels:

 - Native VLANs

 - Channel Bonding (teaming)

 - SNMP

Channel Bonding documentation can be found in the Linux kernel source:

/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt

The driver information previously displayed in the /proc filesystem is not

supported in this release.  Alternatively, you can use ethtool (version 1.6

or later), lspci, and ifconfig to obtain the same information.

Instructions on updating ethtool can be found in the section "Additional

Configurations" later in this document.

NOTE: The Intel(R) 82562v 10/100 Network Connection only provides 10/100

support.

Command Line Parameters

Command Line Parameters

=======================

=======================

If the driver is built as a module, the  following optional parameters

are used by entering them on the command line with the modprobe command

using this syntax:

     modprobe e1000 [<option>=<VAL1>,<VAL2>,...]

For example, with two PRO/1000 PCI adapters, entering:

     modprobe e1000 TxDescriptors=80,128

loads the e1000 driver with 80 TX descriptors for the first adapter and

128 TX descriptors for the second adapter.

The default value for each parameter is generally the recommended setting,

TxDescriptorStep

----------------

Valid Range:    1 (use every Tx Descriptor)

		4 (use every 4th Tx Descriptor)

Default Value:  1 (use every Tx Descriptor)

On certain non-Intel architectures, it has been observed that intense TX

traffic bursts of short packets may result in an improper descriptor

writeback. If this occurs, the driver will report a "TX Timeout" and reset

the adapter, after which the transmit flow will restart, though data may

have stalled for as much as 10 seconds before it resumes.

The improper writeback does not occur on the first descriptor in a system

memory cache-line, which is typically 32 bytes, or 4 descriptors long.

Setting TxDescriptorStep to a value of 4 will ensure that all TX descriptors

are aligned to the start of a system memory cache line, and so this problem

will not occur.

NOTES: Setting TxDescriptorStep to 4 effectively reduces the number of

       TxDescriptors available for transmits to 1/4 of the normal allocation.

       This has a possible negative performance impact, which may be

       compensated for by allocating more descriptors using the TxDescriptors

       module parameter.

       There are other conditions which may result in "TX Timeout", which will

       not be resolved by the use of the TxDescriptorStep parameter. As the

       issue addressed by this parameter has never been observed on Intel

       Architecture platforms, it should not be used on Intel platforms.

Driver copies all packets below or equaling this size to a fresh Rx

buffer before handing it up the stack.

Additional Configurations

Additional Configurations

=========================

=========================

  Configuring the Driver on Different Distributions

  -------------------------------------------------

  Configuring a network driver to load properly when the system is started

  is distribution dependent.  Typically, the configuration process involves

  adding an alias line to /etc/modules.conf or /etc/modprobe.conf as well

  as editing other system startup scripts and/or configuration files.  Many

  popular Linux distributions ship with tools to make these changes for you.

  To learn the proper way to configure a network device for your system,

  refer to your distribution documentation.  If during this process you are

  asked for the driver or module name, the name for the Linux Base Driver

  for the Intel(R) PRO/1000 Family of Adapters is e1000.

  As an example, if you install the e1000 driver for two PRO/1000 adapters

  (eth0 and eth1) and set the speed and duplex to 10full and 100half, add

  the following to modules.conf or or modprobe.conf:

       alias eth0 e1000

       alias eth1 e1000

       options e1000 Speed=10,100 Duplex=2,1

  Viewing Link Messages

  ---------------------

  Link messages will not be displayed to the console if the distribution is

  restricting system messages.  In order to see network driver link messages

  on your console, set dmesg to eight by entering the following:

       dmesg -n 8

  NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.

  See www.cyberus.ca/~hadi/usenix-paper.tgz for more information on NAPI.

Known Issues

============

Dropped Receive Packets on Half-duplex 10/100 Networks

------------------------------------------------------

If you have an Intel PCI Express adapter running at 10mbps or 100mbps, half-

duplex, you may observe occasional dropped receive packets.  There are no

workarounds for this problem in this network configuration.  The network must

be updated to operate in full-duplex, and/or 1000mbps only.

Jumbo Frames System Requirement

-------------------------------

Memory allocation failures have been observed on Linux systems with 64 MB

of RAM or less that are running Jumbo Frames.  If you are using Jumbo

Frames, your system may require more than the advertised minimum

requirement of 64 MB of system memory.

Performance Degradation with Jumbo Frames

-----------------------------------------

Degradation in throughput performance may be observed in some Jumbo frames

environments.  If this is observed, increasing the application's socket

buffer size and/or increasing the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_*mem entry values

may help.  See the specific application manual and

/usr/src/linux*/Documentation/

networking/ip-sysctl.txt for more details.

Jumbo Frames on Foundry BigIron 8000 switch

-------------------------------------------

There is a known issue using Jumbo frames when connected to a Foundry

BigIron 8000 switch.  This is a 3rd party limitation.  If you experience

loss of packets, lower the MTU size.

Allocating Rx Buffers when Using Jumbo Frames 

---------------------------------------------

Allocating Rx buffers when using Jumbo Frames on 2.6.x kernels may fail if 

the available memory is heavily fragmented. This issue may be seen with PCI-X 

adapters or with packet split disabled. This can be reduced or eliminated 

by changing the amount of available memory for receive buffer allocation, by

increasing /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes. 

Multiple Interfaces on Same Ethernet Broadcast Network

------------------------------------------------------

Due to the default ARP behavior on Linux, it is not possible to have

one system on two IP networks in the same Ethernet broadcast domain

(non-partitioned switch) behave as expected.  All Ethernet interfaces

will respond to IP traffic for any IP address assigned to the system.

This results in unbalanced receive traffic.

If you have multiple interfaces in a server, either turn on ARP

filtering by entering:

    echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/all/arp_filter

(this only works if your kernel's version is higher than 2.4.5),

NOTE: This setting is not saved across reboots.  The configuration

change can be made permanent by adding the line:

    net.ipv4.conf.all.arp_filter = 1

to the file /etc/sysctl.conf

      or,

install the interfaces in separate broadcast domains (either in

different switches or in a switch partitioned to VLANs).

82541/82547 can't link or are slow to link with some link partners

-----------------------------------------------------------------

There is a known compatibility issue with 82541/82547 and some

low-end switches where the link will not be established, or will

be slow to establish.  In particular, these switches are known to

be incompatible with 82541/82547:

    Planex FXG-08TE

    I-O Data ETG-SH8

To workaround this issue, the driver can be compiled with an override

of the PHY's master/slave setting.  Forcing master or forcing slave

mode will improve time-to-link.

    # make CFLAGS_EXTRA=-DE1000_MASTER_SLAVE=<n>

Where <n> is:

    0 = Hardware default

    1 = Master mode

    2 = Slave mode

    3 = Auto master/slave

Disable rx flow control with ethtool

------------------------------------

In order to disable receive flow control using ethtool, you must turn

off auto-negotiation on the same command line.

For example:

   ethtool -A eth? autoneg off rx off

Unplugging network cable while ethtool -p is running

----------------------------------------------------

In kernel versions 2.5.50 and later (including 2.6 kernel), unplugging

the network cable while ethtool -p is running will cause the system to

become unresponsive to keyboard commands, except for control-alt-delete.

Restarting the system appears to be the only remedy.
