Solaris 10 10/09 Release Notes

TCP Corruption Seen With Northstar Cards (6838180)

The Intel 82571 chip DMAs might transfer incorrect data but a valid CRC on the network and stop responding. This lack of response results in the device hanging and getting reset.

Workaround: Disable LSO by adding the following line in the e1000g.conf file:


lso_enable=0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0;

Ensure that '0's are in line with the e1000g interface numbers.
