Problems with forcedeth nic

  • Hi

    I have problems with a forcedeth nic (Asrock ION330).

    I have a lot of rx/tx and errors and overruns.

    I've tried:

    (
    ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off
    ethtool -A eth0 autoneg off rx off
    ) &

    in /storage/.config/autostart.sh
    and it seems a little bit better but not enough...

    I've seen there are parameters for forcedeth module which could help:msi=0 msix=0 but how can I use the parameters? it isnt a module, its compiled directly into kernel :/

    Can someone help?

    mount -o remount,rw /flash
    nano /flash/extlinux.conf
    add the changes to kernel boot params in extlinux.conf, save and exit
    mount -o remount,ro /flash
    reboot

    I think you need to add in extlinux.conf as chewitt suggested but it must be in form

    Code
    forcedeth.msi=0 forcedeth.msix=0
