tg3 says tg3: eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full duplex. tg3: eth0: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX. but sungem says eth0: Link is up at 1000 Mbps, full-duplex. eth0: Pause is disabled Hrm... I suppose I need to dig more. No time to do that today though.I was about to try and debug this, and noticed immediately that I didn't recognize any of the code. Could you look into this, you rewrote all of this stuff and this looks like a regression added, because I know this pause stuff used to work perfectly when I wrote the original GEM driver. :-)
Heh, it's very possible it's a regression I added indeed. I'll try to have a look next week. Do you know of anybody who can verify on non-mii hardware or is pause irrelevant there ? Ben.
