Hello, Yevgeny.

We use a MT26448 (lspci -v output bellow) on a POWER7. Any other
information, tests or debug patches you want me to try, just tell me.

I expected this was really not the proper fix, but thought it would be
better to send it than just guess. Any clues what the problem might be?
Perhaps, we would have to disable blue frame for this particular device?

Regards,
Cascardo.

Cascardo,

Can you also send me the output of ethtool -i?
It seems that there is a problem with write combining on Power processors, we will check this issue.

Hello, Yevgeny.

You will find the output of ethtool -i below.

I am copying Ben and powerpc list, in case this is an issue with Power
processors. They can provide us some more insight into this.

Thanks,
Cascardo.
