 Posted: Mon Sep 02, 2013 9:56 am Post subject: [SOLVED] No traffic counters with alx driver (kernel 3.10.x) |
 |
|
I have a pc with a Ethernet controller: Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 10)
At the moment I am running kernel 3.10.10 with the alx driver compiled into the kernel.
The card works just fine, but the issue that I am having is that the traffic counters are not updated.
Both ifconfig and /proc/net/dev show only zeroes.
Example output, AR8161 interface is enp2s0:
| Code: | titan ~ # cat /proc/net/dev
Inter-| Receive | Transmit
face |bytes packets errs drop fifo frame compressed multicast|bytes packets errs drop fifo colls carrier compressed

Does anyone know if this is a driver issue, or did I forget to activate some kernel parameter?

Apparently the driver in the kernel has been stripped down to the bare minimum.
There are still no traffic counters in kernel 3.11.4 |

| I am running 3.14.1-gentoo now, and the issue has been resolved in this kernel. |
