We did try to duplicate the issue that you reported several times in our
lab but were unable to see the symptoms you reported. It seems like the
issue you are having is very sporadic in nature. We have had no issues
reported from the field or from IBM either on this very specific
command. Could you please tell me what tool are you exactly referring to
when you say you are able to "burn" the image on the adapter.

I would recommend you use the firmware update tool provided by IBM and I
would also advise you to do that with the latest firmware provided by
IBM. Please try that and let me know the outcome.

  Brian,

  I have a system that is available right now exhibiting this failure
  for Mason adapter from Qlogic

  eth1 and eth2 are the interfaces corresponding to the ports of the
  Qlogic's Mason adapter.

  The issue is reproducible now also

  wii01:~ # ethtool -t eth1
  The test result is FAIL
  The test extra info:
  Loopback test  (offline)	 -5

  wii01:~ # echo $?
  2
  wii01:~ # ethtool -t eth2
  The test result is FAIL
  The test extra info:
  Loopback test  (offline)	 -5

  > Mirror on Launchpad

  The mirror is requested because there's a need to involve QLogic -
  since they have no access to LTC bugzilla, we NEED to mirror this bug
  to Launchpad so we can discuss there.
