Known issues
|
Please check the version of these release notes on the website for the most up-to-date information. |
- Slaying io-net with the devn-pegasus.so and devn-rtl8150.so drivers isn't always successful. (Ref# 28602)
Workaround: Use kill -9 instead to kill io-net.
- Using devn-asix.so won't support the 1000MB/s interface of the Linksys Gigabit USB Adapter (model no. USB1000).
(Ref# 38115)
Workaround: Force a speed and duplex that is supported by the driver (10 and 100Mbit).
- The devn-tigon3.so network driver on the Dell PowerEdge 850 board will only run up to 100Mbit/s and not 1000Mbit/s. Other boards work fine at 1000Mbit/s. (Ref# 39355)
