i40e Ethernet Connection XL710 Network Driver - version 1.5.10-k 2.6.32-696 not loading correctly

Has anyone ran into a similar issue. After a yum update to kernel 2.6.32-696.3.2.el6.x86_64 or 2.6.32-696. My bond2 interface stops working correctly.

After that I am unable to set speed settings and unable to ping anything. This is causing my NFS shares to stop working, as they are being mounted via that nic.

When I roll back to 2.6.32-642.13.1.el6.x86_64 starts working right away.

from dmesg it looks like the kernel is unable to detect that we are using 10Gbps cards. How do I proceed with reporting this bug?

Hi Alegutier,

 

 

Thank you for posting at Wired Communities. Can you share what is the exact XL710 network adapter model? is it an onboard NIC, if yes what is the brand and model of your system? Just to double check if you are using Centos here?

 

 

I will further check. Thank you.

 

 

regards,

Hi Alegutier,

 

 

Thank you for the information. It is recommended for you to contact HP* support as this is an HP* network adapter which is not an Intel product. You may refer to the support information stated on page 6 of their Quick Spec at

Hope this helps.
