Summary: Very slow ethernet (nothing to do with framebuffer)

Details:

I have problem with ethernet functionality, when framebuffer is enabled (custom osd057 driver). Ethernet speed is very slow. I have't this problem with preview versions of uclinux. Any idea? Thanks

Follow-ups

which release? SVN trunk?

--- Jiri Beranek 2008-12-25 16:34:59

Yes, it is SVN trunk. Sorry for preview mystification, but ethernet is always

slow, not only when framebuffer is enabled. Thanks

Jiri:

What ethernet chip are you using?

--- Jiri Beranek 2008-12-26 18:42:45

I have not external ethernet chip. I am using internal BF537 MAC + LAN83C185

PHY.

Jiri,

Does this issue still exist for you on current svn trunk?

Can you characterize slow?

Please submit a

1) complete bugreport

2) kernel startup messages

Yes issue still exist on current svn trunk.

When connect to blackfin board by telnet 192.168.123.100,

response times between characters is very slow. Ftp dir

command is some time slow too. Connections are not stable.

Bugreport & startup messages attached.

Big Thanks

It appears to be a bug in common Linux 2.6.28 code.

Should be fixed on svn trunk now.

Please test again and close this bug.
