Hi Brandon,

I copied over a more recent code for the NIC.

And it loads fine on the two systems.

The code is currently in /home/ajitkhaparde/bnxt_en-1.10.1-216.1.142.0

Till I find a release version of the driver for Ubuntu, we could use this?

We can copy the bnxt_en.ko over to
/lib/modules/4.15.0-112-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnxt/bnxt_en.ko

Please let me know.

Thanks

Ajit

Hi Ajit,

That issue occurs sometimes on my end as well. There's no clear solution other than to try again later.

I will look into the issue and try to make a permanent fix.

Thanks,

Brandon

Brandon,

I have sent them a reminder. I will keep you posted.

But I tried to login into the system to peek around and the VPN seems to

continuously negotiate/authenticate. For some reason the connection

is getting reset.

Any idea on what might be causing this?

Thanks

Hi Ajit,

Have you gotten a response yet?

I've tried the firmware from the official website but it's supported on Fedora/Redhat instead of Ubuntu.

Thanks,

Brandon

Hi Brandon,

Maybe I might have to update it to a newer firmware.

Let me check internally and get back.

Thanks

Hi Ajit,

We've received the Broadcom 100G NIC and installed it onto the machine. However, the drivers don't seem to support Ubuntu, information from https://www.broadcom.com/products/ethernet-connectivity/network-adapters/100gb-nic-ocp/p2100g. 

I've also updated the kernel to the latest version. The card appears with the correct name in lspci and lshw, but it has no available MAC address, so I can't use it in setting up the nic single core performance testing.

Do you know what could be causing this issue? 

Thanks,

Brandon
