Constant cpu usage (20%) by Intel PROSet Monitoring Service

Hello there,

 

I recently noticed that cpu isconstantly being used by Intel PROSet Monitoring Service. About 20%.

 

At first I noticed that Svchost.exe was using 20% but  ProcessExplorer suggested that it was Intel PROSet Monitoring Service that was running svchost that high.

 

When I stop Intel PROSet Monitoring Service, cpu goes back to 0%-1% when idle.

 

I see no problem at all after stopping the service.

 

Can you guys tell me the prupose of it and why it would contantly use 20% of my cpu?

 

French guy here so go easy on the writing critics!

 

Thanks.

Accessing hardware timestamps with SR-IOV

Hi,

 

I was wondering if it is possible to get access to hardware timestamping on the NIC if you using SR-IOV virtualization.

 

Currently in a non-virtualized environment, I can configure HW timestamping by passing hwtstamp_config structure to ioctl().  However, when I do the same operation in a Xen based VM which uses SR-IOV (and Intel 82599 NIC) the same operation failed (I am getting Operation not supported message after calling ioctl()).

 

Reading the documentation on SR-IOV I couldn't figure out if accessing HW timestamps on a NIC is fundamentally not possible, or I just missing some configuration (such as Virtual Function for NIC).

 

Thank you

82574 is not recognized by PCIe bus ...

I have some problems regarding the WG82574 PCIe Gigabit Ethernet controller. I used it according to its sample schematics. However, it could not be recognized on PCIe bus. It should be added that the EEPROM connected to this IC have not programmed yet. However, I expected that the IC should be recognized without using the EEPROM. The schematic of this IC in my design is attached.

Hi,

 

We are using WGI210IT Ethernet controller for Ethernet application using PCIe Interface.

The WGI210IT is interfaced to i.Mx6Q through PCIe signals.

When we give the "lspci" Command in the Linux command window we are getting the following :

 

01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 1531 (rev 03)

 

Here the Device ID 1531 refers to 0x1531 - I210 with a blank Flash (tools only, not for driver) as per the Datasheet.

 

Is it referring that the I210 Device is blank or the Flash device attached to the I210 is Blank ?

Please help us with reply ASAP.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Nanjunda M

X710-DA4 - SR-IOV not working correctly

May 12, 2016, 5:40 pm

Host OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Hypervisor: Xen 4.6.0

Kernel version: 4.4.0-22-generic

Driver version: i40e-1.5.18

NVM version: 5.02

Guest OS: Windows Server 2012 R2

Guest Driver version: 20.7.1

 

I'm trying to forward the ports of the card to a guest Windows VM.  An example of forwarding just one port:

 

# echo 1 > /sys/class/net/ens2f0/device/sriov_numvfs

# /sbin/ip link set ens2f0 vf 0 mac 02:00:00:00:00:00

# xl pci-assignable-add 02:02.0

Added to Xen VM .cfg:

pci = ['0000:02:02.0']

 

All of that works and the VM starts fine and sees the card.  Xen reports that it added it:

 

[26326.586765] i40e 0000:02:00.0 ens2f0: adding 68:05:ca:33:0a:59 vid=0

[26472.867643] pciback 0000:02:02.0: registering for 4

 

I install the drivers and Windows 'see' the card.  The problem is the reported state goes into a cycle:

 

Connected @ 10GB

Connected @ 40GB

Disconnected

 

When this happens, in dmesg on the host:

multiple VF that has same MAC with different vlan

Hello,

 

I'm using 82599 NIC with SR-IOV technology.

recently I've got an issue with following configuration.

 

as you can see there are two VFs that has same MAC on one PF. but each VF tagged different vlan. I thought that it should be work. but when after I create vf4, the vf3 is not working.

but vf3 is working when after I remove vf4 without any reboot/recreation operation.

 

Is there any limitation to use sr-iov (vf) with fixed-mac/vlan that created from a PF? any specific reason or specifications we have?

 

ip link show eth5

vf 0 MAC 12:00:00:00:03:00, vlan 812, spoof checking on

vf 1 MAC 12:00:00:00:00:50, vlan 812, spoof checking on

vf 2 MAC 12:00:00:00:00:c0, vlan 812, spoof checking on

vf 3 MAC 12:00:00:00:10:c0, vlan 812, spoof checking on

vf 4 MAC 12:00:00:00:10:c0, vlan 810, spoof checking on

Hi,

 

I found a problem that when adding vlans to a XL710 port only 255 vlans can be configured.

Further configuration will return with error message as "ixl0: aq_add_macvlan err -53, aq_error 16"

 

-53 means admin queue error and 16 should be no space available or alloc fail.

This is found on FreeBSD OS and with driver 1.4.8 and latest NVM on chip.

 

Could you please help confirm what issue it is?

Thanks very much.

82579LM & Windows 10 problem

Hello

 

I'm new with Windows and I need some help. I have just installed Windows 10 Pro (64 bit) and I'm having weird problems with my wired network connection. Everything works well under Linux, so this is most likely a software problem. So the problem... Network is slow and looses packets as is shown in pictures bellow. Wireless connection also works without problems, however.

 

Computer: HP Compaq Elite 8200

Integrated network adapter: Intel 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection (driver version 12.15.31.4)

 

I did install newest drivers from https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25016/Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-Windows-10?product=47620 Windows seemed to be reluctant to accept network drivers, because of course it knows better than me. Since I was unsure if it actually accepted my proposed drivers, so I also installed Intel -- Driver Update Utility which only tries to install Intel Chipset Device Software (INF Update Utility-EXE Only) but fails without any clear error message. Can't really understand why, but it doesn't say anything about network drivers, so I have to assume that it is the newest version.

 

So what now? I hope this is something simple that I just don't get. All help is appreciated.

Oh, and one more thing. Only error message I managed to find was in network adapter events. Doesn't really say anything to me nor did I find anything worth mentioning with Google.

We already got working card with same chip (Selecom) and decided to purchase another one - but Intel branded XL710-QDA2.

After deploying and upgrading firmware and driver to the latests versions, we found that 40gbit/s link is up and icmp (pings) packets go perfectly, but there is no ability to set up any TCP connection.

Ethtool shows a lot of rx_crc_errors on this interface.

We've tested it with two brand new Intel cables and got the same result.

 

What can be reason of this?

Hi,i have the following issue. i am using a workstation equipped with Intel X550-T2 card and connected both 10Gbase-T ports with a cat7 cable to switch-port 27/28. switch-port 27/28 are also 10Gbase-T capable.

only one port on the intel card will connect at full speed (10Gbps). the second port will run with 1Gbps. I tried these things:

- build up a lan-team on workstation-side in windows server 2012

- forced card- and switch-ports to 10Gbase

- build a aggregation with both switch-ports

nothing really helped. is there a compatibility problem between card and switch ?

i tried also to active and deactivate stp. i dont understand why only one port run with full speed.

i got a supermicro-mainboard based server in my office as well, two intel x550 onboard ports and the same problem occur. one port is at full speed the second port is at 100Mbps.

Intel network driver interfering with audio

June 4, 2016, 8:35 am

Hi,

 

I'm having one of the strangest audio problems I've ever seen on my PC right now, which seems to be linked to my internet connection (of all things), which uses an intel network driver.

 

First off I'm the sort of PC user that likes to leave the system on 24/7 and power off the displays when not in use, as this allows me to run certain background tasks (like automated file backups) overnight.

 

After leaving my system running for a few days I started to notice an erratic popping noise in my audio, a bit like static, but not as consistent. After doing some research online, I learned about something called DPC latency and used a program called 'DPC Latency Monitor' to try and diagnose the problem.

 

The data I collected pointed to my Intel network driver as a possible culprit for my audio issues, so I tried disabling the corresponding network adapter from the network and sharing center, and re-ran the latency test. The results with the network adapter disabled were greatly improved, and I could no longer hear the popping noises when listening to offline audio.

 

As soon as I re-enable the network adapter the problem returns, and so far the only solution I have is to randomly reboot my system, which I find rather inconvenient, as it also requires me to save all data in all open programs, exit out of everything, and then open it all back up again later.

 

I've already used Intel's driver update utility to ensure I'm on the latest drivers, and am unsure of what to do next.

 

The following is a compilation of the data I collected while trying to figure things out:

 

DPC latency monitor data, with network adapter enabled and before a system reboot:

With network adapter disabled and before reboot:
