Broadcom BCM5906M Ethernet is not working

Hi,

My Broadcom BCM5906M Ethernet is not working. Does anybody have the same problem? It always worked, but today i figured out that it does not works anymore. I did not used it since 5 days ago, so the problem started recentely.

I can see a eth0 interface, and i can get a IP using dhcp. The problem is that all packets sent are lost. Also, i tried in differents places (home, work, university). I tried with another laptop and i can confirm that the network and cable i used are working.

The tg3 module is up.

lsmod | grep tg3
tg3                   121604  0 
libphy                 18048  1 tg3

Dmesg:

tg3: eth0: Link is up at 100 Mbps, full duplex.
tg3: eth0: Flow control is on for TX and on for RX.

Re: Broadcom BCM5906M Ethernet is not working

don't know if the bug is fixed but you can try it

do sysctl -w net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps=0

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
