Re: [Xen-users] Network Bridge Fails After 3.1.3 -> 3.2.1 Upgrade

In this scenario :
- your eth0 should be up, no ip address
- breth0 should be up, have an ip address (optional, if your dom0 needs it)
 in your example it seems like breth0 is missing an ip address. Is this 
intentional? What are the relevant entries in syslog when the bridge 
stops working? What is the status of eth0 (up, ip address?)

and the Xen created

xenbr0          8000.feffffffffff       no              vif0.0
                                                        peth0
15: xenbr0: <BROADCAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
    link/ether fe:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
The differences that I see are in the bridge id and that the Xen bridge
as NOARP in the link.  Would either of these differences explain the
behaviour I see?
Thanks,

I'm running a Gentoo system using the 2.6.21-xen sources available in
portage.  The system has run reliably with 3.0 and 3.1 versions of Xen
but now trying to upgrade to 3.2 I am facing some problems.  I am
letting Xen control the creation of the network bridge and this happens
without a problem and when I start domUs they initially work without a
problem.  Unfortunately after a short time networking to the domU fails,
dom0 remains ok.  I have a broadcom network interface which is built on
to the motherboard, ethtool -i reports:
driver: tg3
version: 3.75.2
firmware-version: 5703-v2.33
bus-info: 0000:02:09.0
I have seen reports of issues with broadcom interfaces not working and
that ethtool -K tx off rx off resolves them but this does not work in my
case.  Any suggestions on things to look at are welcome, let me know if
any more information is required.
# ethtool -k peth0
Offload parameters for peth0:
Cannot get device udp large send offload settings: Operation not
supported
rx-checksumming: on
tx-checksumming: on
scatter-gather: on
tcp segmentation offload: off
udp fragmentation offload: off
generic segmentation offload: off
