RevPi NICs failing

We have several systems with Revolution Pis in them deployed. Every once in a while, some will be unreachable over network. After investigating for a while and trying the change our code, config, enclosure design, etc., we’re out of ideas as to what we’re doing that could be causing this.

It looks like the NIC dies until we kick it.

Hi

Which image version and kernel are you using?

image version:
cat /etc/revpi/image-release

kernel version:
uname -a
dpkg -l | grep raspberrypi-kernel

Note we've seen this same issue across various kernels and images since last year.

There were some improvents in the smsc95xx driver in the latest releases. Could you please install the updates on one of the RevPis and check if this will improve stability?

Which updates in particular? Just

Code: Select all

apt
,

Code: Select all

raspi-config
, kernel, all?

There's also the issue of testing. We don't know what the root issue is so we can't reproduce the fault. How would we know if the update fixes out problem besides waiting around for months and hoping it doesn't happen again?

Is there a way to escalate this? We're receiving no support. Our e-mails are going unanswered--we're looking at changing suppliers if we don;t get to the bottom of this.

Dear mcww_rd,
can you please send me and us an SOS report to support@kunbus.com?
Where did you send your emails, or can you provide a ticket number, i.e. discrete via E-Mail together with an SOS-Report?
Can you provide more details about the structure, for example a sketch?

Thank you
