qeth.f6c89f <bus ID of the qeth device>: Enabling the passthrough mode for <network interface name> failed

Explanation

The qeth device driver could not enable the passthrough mode on the network adapter. The passthrough mode is required for all network traffic other than IPv4. In particular, the passthrough mode is required for IPv6 traffic.

User response

None if all you want to support is IPv4 communication. If you want to support IPv6 or other network traffic apart from IPv4, ungroup and regroup the subchannel triplet of the device. If this does not resolve the problem, reboot Linux. If the problem persists, gather Linux debug data and report the problem to your support organization.
