FreeBSD 9.2 - does not appear to support the 'dc' PCMCIA NIC driver
I have a Netgear FA511 PCMCIA NIC that worked fine under 9.1. Under 9.2 I get the following message: Oct 6 21:38:11 monitor4 kernel: dc0: ADMtek AN985 CardBus 10/100BaseTX or clon e port 0x1100-0x11ff irq 19 at device 0.0 on cardbus0 Oct 6 21:38:11 monitor4 kernel: dc0: attaching PHYs failed This used to work under 9.1, does anyone know what happened?

D-Link DUBE100 USB NIC does not work
Dear Colleagues, It is written in axe(4) and in the HCL for 9.1 that D-Link DUBE100 is supported. I have bought one and the system shows it as ugen0.3: product 0x1a02 vendor 0x2001 at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=HIGH (480Mbps) pwr=ON (200mA) What am I doing wrong? Why does it not attach a driver to it? Should I do something else besides plugging the device in for the network interface to appear? I am running stable/9 (9.2-BETA2 at the moment). TIA for any input. -- Victor Sudakov, VAS4-RIPE, VAS47-RIPN sip:suda...@sibptus.tomsk.ru ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: How to create vlan (four NIC into one) using lagg
Hi Xu Zhe, If I were you I would first of all check cables. They might be the cause. Secondly, if cables are good, to me this report very much resembles a PR I reported a few weeks ago - http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/179926 Check its set and look at the patch I submitted.

Check the detach/destroy routines to make sure that it's properly detaching everything and updating indexes in the network stack before it unloads the driver.

I found a solution where one could use the settings below: In /etc/sysctl.conf net.inet.tcp.tso=0 And in /boot/loader.conf hw.msk.msi_disable=1 This seems to work but the trade-off is that I now only have 100 mbit.

Intel ProWireless 2200BG NIC need multicast update
Hi Im looking for help and some more info on the subject. the only post i found is from april 2008 the post suggests to add the capability to the driver based on or copy from a different WiFi NIC driver and it is not working still same error the NIC hangs in a way ifconfig show IP address the and status = associated, a simple ping to the router works with intermittent failures in the form of sento: Network is down and than it hangs usualy afte the 15th packet send... a restart the NIC device with /etc/rc.d/netif restart will cause the system to reboot! the driver version comes with the ISO DVD is v1.72, so I was looking for a new version on the FreeBSD VCS and there is a rev 1.82 posted March 2012 but this one fail the make on line 437 assignment from incompatible pointer type ??? thanks for the time and help Yuval ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
determine the nic pairs
Hi Enthusiast, I have a server which has around 20 nic interfaces. Some are connected port to port via cross cable and some are connected via a switch and few are not connected. (Let consider all are connected port to port) I want to find out the way so that I can determine the pairs efficiently. I assigned ip starting from 172.x.x.30 with netmask 255.255.255.0 I created as many sockets as there are interfaces with socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP) then I bind the all but one interfaces to the ip I gave using bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)in, sizeof(in)); where in is something like bzero(in, sizeof(in)); in.sin_family = AF_INET; in.sin_port = htons(2074); in.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(172.x.x.30+interfaceno); and one left socket I did socket creation and using setsockopt I did int option = 1; setsockopt(sockfd[counter], SOL_SOCKET, SO_BROADCAST, option, sizeof(option)); and do sendto(sockfd, arr, sizeof(arr), 0, (struct sockaddr *)in, len); where in is bzero(in, sizeof(in)); in.sin_family = AF_INET; in.sin_port = htons(2074); in.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(172.x.x.255); Now I want to send the packet from one interface and who ever receive should be its partner. But when I do recvfrom for one socket it blocks and I am not able to implement timeout for it. select is not working as it need file discripter and socket call is returning struct socket. So how should I implement timeout in recvfrom or use there exist some equivalent of select for struct socket or any other way to implement this. PS: Ping is working fine in determining the pair but taking to much time. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Nov 22 14:49:49 sleipnir kernel: msk0: initialization failed: no memory for Rx b uffers The NIC freezes completely and will not return to sanity with ifconfig msk0 down and ifconfig msk0 up.

The only difference in the kernels is that the locally compiled one supports 4 fibs. The hardware is a Supermicro H8DCL-6F motherboard with 2 AMD 4162EE CPUs and 16GB of memory.

RE: Intel 82573E NIC and BMC with FreeBSD 8
Ok I got the BMC responding when the em driver is loaded. I had to comment out the line corresponding to the CRC Stripping (#4153) in /usr/src/sys/dev/e1000/if_em.c and compile/install/loader.conf the driver. I know (from my google searches) that by doing it some other intel nics will not function properly with the driver. The only way to make every one happy would be to add a sysctl param to the driver, something like hw.em.disable_crc_stripping . Where can I commit such thing ? Rafael.

What if you do a fetch -o /dev/null {http|ftp}://remotesite/file

/dev/null 100% of 1027 MB 29 MBps 00m00s
Basically the same. I don't think it's disk.
There's kern/152828 claiming a performance regression with em under
8.2, but I'm not sure if that is applicable to my system. I'd upgrade
the kernel to test, but I'm not brave enough to downgrade the kernel
to 8.0 for comparison. (I've never had good luck running an old kernel
on a new userland.)

Some possible workarounds/tweaks: 1) increase rsize/wsize (32k for larger files for example) of client mount 2) if performance is only requirement UDP will increase performance versus TCP with obvious downside of using UDP :) 3) jumbo frames (MTU=9000) should help in most cases if available I've also done a bit of testing with NFSv4 - and I find performance here can be a bit better than v3 due to better attribute caching (decreasing amount of getattr() calls when traversing filesystems) and other interesting bigs v4 has.

Was trivial to convert the Windows driver, and it works without issue.

Problem one was that NDIS was not working on 64 bit systems. I believe that has been addressed; however I cannot confirm it. The last time I tired was approximately three months ago. It would not work on the system, ie, the system would not use the driver. I even tried a piece of shit USB device (N protocol) on another one of my FreeBSD machines, and that failed also. The last of my FreeBSD laptops is now gone; they are all Win7 machines. I still have two towers, one with wireless USB that fails on FreeBSD. Now, I have absolutely no problem with you manually creating a file(s), etc to get a connection created. On the other hand, my 10 year old niece was visiting a few weeks ago. Like all kids, she had her laptop with her. Upon turning it on, it discovered my wireless network. All I had to do was give her the password, and she was on. Of course we are not talking about network discovery and but rather the act of getting a wireless card working in the first place. To a degree, they are connected though. Computers should make life easier, not more complicated. Manually having to discover what form of encryption is being used on a network when it can be done automatically, etcetera, just does not suit my definition of easier. I would much rather be playing a round of golf while you are debugging a wireless connection. So if you are looking for an argument as to why you should not be manually forced to configure a simple device that can and is automatically handled by other OSs, you will not get an argument from me. That is unless you think that I should also be forced to do the same.

Re: Question about NIC link state initialization
Steve Polyack kor...@comcast.net wrote: I was able to fix the single-user mode behavior (which I agree, isn't necessarily broken) and get it to bring up the links by simply patching init(8) to call system(/sbin/ifconfig) before prompting for the single-user shell. It works, but I feel dirty. I see no particular objection to adding a way of running something ahead of the single-user shell, but system(3) is not necessarily the best mechanism to use for the purpose because it invokes a shell. It would be both more efficient and more robust to call fork(2) and exec(3) (or execve(2)) directly. It would be more general to fork/exec /etc/rc.single instead of /sbin/ifconfig, expecting /etc/rc.single to be an executable script (with an appropriate shebang line) and ignoring the failure which would occur if it did not exist. (In your case, instead of a script, you could make /etc/rc.single a link to /sbin/ifconfig.) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Do they describe doing a bare metal install of an OS? They are the Dell Remote Access Controllers (DRACs). Now, they do have their own dedicated NIC, which we use for anything that really needs the attention. However, the shared feature saves us a switchport per server we use it on. When both on-board NICs are cabled (i.e. for lagg(4) failover), then the DRAC's shared NIC mode *also* supports automatic failover between both on-board NICs. This doesn't help however if the operating system never turns on the links to either on-board NIC. I was able to fix the single-user mode behavior (which I agree, isn't necessarily broken) and get it to bring up the links by simply patching init(8) to call system(/sbin/ifconfig) before prompting for the single-user shell. It works, but I feel dirty. - Steve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Question about NIC link state initialization
I have a handful of systems running FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE. An occaisional fat-finger in /etc/fstab may cause one to end up in single-user mode from time to time. This would normally not be a problem, but some of these systems have a LOM (lights-out management) controller which shares the system's on-board NICs. This works great 99% of the time, but when the system drops out of init(8) and into single-user mode, the links on the interfaces never come up, and therefore the LOM becomes inaccessible. Cue remote-hands at the facility to help us remedy the problem. I've been playing around with this configuration on a local system, and I've noticed that once at a single-user shell, all one has to do is run ifconfig to cause the NIC's links to come up. You don't even have to specify the interface, nor do you have to specify up. As soon as I hit enter, ifconfig prints the typical interface summary - intermingled in with this are the bold kernel log messages stating bce0: link state changed to UP and bce1: link state changed to UP. So, my question is - why do we have to run ifconfig(8) to bring the links up on the attached interfaces? Shouldn't they come up after the driver discovers and initializes the devices? Keep in mind that I don't even have to pass any arguments (such as up) to ifconfig. Furthermore, the behavior is exactly the same for bce(4) and em(4). Short of patching init(8) (or perhaps the NIC drivers?), I don't see another way for me to ensure the links come up even when the system drops into single-user mode on boot. - Steve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

FBSD support for Intel mini-itx board w. realtek 8111D nic
Hi: I've got a fanless via based mini-itx box as my gateway and server and looking to upgrade to a Intel Atom based box. I believe it's supported out of the box. Now, I don't have an extra monitor, basically I'm gonna take the old disk, plug it in and hope it will boot (FBSD81, GENERIC kernel). So, I'm looking at the D945GSEJT which has a realtek 8111DL nic. Which driver is used for this nic? Well, basically I need to preconfigure the network so I can connect if/when it gets up.

Three network interfaces so you have a DMZ, plus a hardware crypto accelerator for VPNs. Total power consumption measured at 5W. The alix2d2 is the 2 network port version. Thanks to everyone indeed. The long-story-short is that just a few months ago I thought I *had* found a low-power [Atom] box with a dual-NIC for around $300. So I figured that since there was at least that one there might be others. Late last night my friend at the University figured that it wouldn't be that hard to build one from parts. [[ Sure, if you've got two good hands and a several hours, etc. ]] An Atom CPU is only the means to the end of finally having a low power config. Right now I'm probably burning 100w using the Kayak and an '05 40G drive. Any low-power box will work.

Need help troubleshooting NIC
Over the weekend one my servers went down due to extended power failure. The file system reports clean, but something has gone sideways with networking. The server is a Dell 2950 running 7.0 release, and it's been working fine for well over a year. It uses the BCE driver. Ifconfig shows it to be up and active and configured with the correct IP, mask and gateway, but I can't ping anything. I've tested the ethernet connection with a nearby machine and it works. I also booted the 2950 from an Ubuntu live CD and the NIC worked, so i don't think it's a hardware issue.

Re: IPF, NAT or NIC
I suspect that you've created a cabling loop of some sort again. Maybe i made some cabling loop, becauce my internet stoped to work. In the beginning everything was ok, but after some time when all 3 pc's was connected to switch it stopped to work. Why? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/IPF%2C-NAT-or-NIC-tp25491958p25520353.html Sent from the freebsd-questions mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: IPF, NAT or NIC
How to change the interfaces to not to be on same physical subnet? Hummm, subnet is virtual, it is not physical. To have interface on different phisical network, plug your interfaces to different switchwes that are not interconnected one to the other. To have a different subnet used on different interfaces, configure them. Now you can run two or more subnets on the same physical LAN.
