Fwd: Gigabit PCI network card for Qube2

Hi Mark,

Did you have to configure a special kernel for the Intel Pro/1000 GT
card to be seen?

I have bought one and put it in, but it doesn't show up either at boot
or in dmesg 

Any ideas?

Re: Gigabit PCI network card for Qube2

Actually, my mistake - I get the following in dmesg:

Intel i82541PI Gigabit Ethernet (ethernet network, revision 0x05) at
pci0 dev 10 function 0 not configured

Re: Gigabit PCI network card for Qube2

Hi Mark,

Yes that would be great!  Please add some numpty instructions on how
to boot to it too (Linux is my thing, NetBSD kernels I have never
touched).

Many thanks,

-Mark

Intel Pro 1000 in a Qube2 .. unknown PHY ?

Hi there,

The Intel Pro/1000 GT is running in my Qube 2 but there is one last bit that is unhappy :

wm0 at pci0 dev 10 function 0: Intel i82541PI 1000BASE-T Ethernet, rev. 5
wm0: interrupting at irq 9
wm0: 32-bit 33MHz PCI bus
wm0: 64 word (6 address bits) MicroWire EEPROM
wm0: Ethernet address 00:15:17:0e:b8:e2
OUI 0x005500 model 0x0038 rev 0 at wm0 phy 1 not configured
OUI 0x005500 model 0x0038 rev 0 at wm0 phy 1 not configured

I think it's complaining that it doesn't know what PHY to use ?  Anyone with more smarts than me able to tell me
what it means ?

I can dump the config of my kernel if you need.

Thanks!

Mark

Ahh thanks! 

Is there a central bit of documentation that lists all of what you need to add to a kernel config file to get
drivers working ?  (sort of "if you have hardware xxxx then add yyyy to the config file" ?)

I did "man mii" and it didn't list "igphy" only "inphy, oiphy and ikphy" ... guess you either have to be
psychic or been a NetBSD guru since day 1  

I'll go add that to my config and rebuild.

Thanks

Intel Pro/1000 in a Qube2 observations

Hi there,

Since things appear to be working with this board I've done a few rough tests with some interesting results
(only 100BaseT results at the moment as thats all my current router/hub supports)

1)  By default the hardware checksums are not enabled ... which seems kind of odd you can see the before and
after here :

	Before:
	qube2# ifconfig -v wm0
		wm0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        	capabilities=2bf80<TSO4,IP4CSUM_Rx,IP4CSUM_Tx,TCP4CSUM_Rx,TCP4CSUM_Tx,UDP4CSUM_Rx,UDP4CSUM_Tx,TCP6CSUM_Tx,UDP6CSUM_Tx>
        	enabled=0
        	address: 00:15:17:0e:b8:e2
        	media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex,flowcontrol,rxpause,txpause)
        	status: active
      	  	input: 556569 packets, 42363982 bytes, 410 multicasts
        	output: 922440 packets, 1358364969 bytes, 7 multicasts
        	inet 192.168.0.7 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
       	 	inet6 fe80::215:17ff:fe0e:b8e2%wm0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2

	then run :  ifconfig wm0 ip4csum tcp4csum udp4csum

	After:
	qube2# ifconfig -v wm0
		wm0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        	capabilities=2bf80<TSO4,IP4CSUM_Rx,IP4CSUM_Tx,TCP4CSUM_Rx,TCP4CSUM_Tx,UDP4CSUM_Rx,UDP4CSUM_Tx,TCP6CSUM_Tx,UDP6CSUM_Tx>
        	enabled=3f00<IP4CSUM_Rx,IP4CSUM_Tx,TCP4CSUM_Rx,TCP4CSUM_Tx,UDP4CSUM_Rx,UDP4CSUM_Tx>
        	address: 00:15:17:0e:b8:e2
        	media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex,flowcontrol,rxpause,txpause)

Well we always have less man power for up-to-date docs...
("may the sources be with you" 

Of course any documentation patches (via send-pr etc) are appreciated.

> (sort of "if you have hardware xxxx then add yyyy to the config file" ?)

Combinations of MAC controllers/PHY chips are quite independent
so no trivial way to maintain a list of existing boards.

The simplest way is to put all supported mii devices
(probably you can see it in arch/i386/conf/ALL or dev/mii/files.mii)
into a config file and see which one is matched.
(though other unused drivers simply waste RAMs)

ukphy(4) might work as a generic one if there is no chip
specific PHY drivers.
