I have DS716+ (BRASWELL) / DSM 6.2 / USB3 RTL8156B

found only drivers for DSM 7.1 and 7.2: r8152-braswell-2.17.1-1_7.1.spk r8152-braswell-2.17.1-1_7.2.spk

-> Could you please release a new driver for DSM 6.2? Thank you for any help, best regards, Klaus

Why are you still on 6.2?

soleluna commented 8 months ago

good question - I am still using OPENERP. This 3rd party app is not available with DSM7. Anyone experience with DSM7 running OPENERP inside DOCKER/DSM6 ?

soleluna commented 8 months ago

I got 2G5 running with an older driver:
r8152-braswell 2.14.0-2.spk 2500 MBit/s, Vollduplex, MTU 1500

DS716+ (BRASWELL) Version: 6.2.3-25426 Update 3 ULANSEN USB 3.0 to 2.5G Adapter (USBA8156B), rear side

bb-qq commented 8 months ago

I added r8152-braswell-2.17.1-1_6.2.spk, but if you are not experiencing any problems, it is probably a good idea to continue using the current version.

soleluna commented 8 months ago

In fact, the DS716+ lost the LAN connection with the 8152-braswell 2.14.0-2 overnight. No ping reaction - maybe the rearside USB3 went to sleep mode? Any issues known concernig SYNO USB3 sleep mode? Can I read a log file on the SYNO?

Thank you very much for the newest version 2.17.1-1 with BRASWELL DSM6. I will try with this version and report. Should I uninstall the old driver before? And if so: How to?

I run before BOND with LAN1 (1Gb) / LAN2 (1Gb) - balanced LAN power- connected. I got a 2x1Gb connection With my prepared old 1Gb NETGEAR switch - but not to one single PC. Is it possible to BOND the USB LAN3 (2.5Gb) / LAN1 (1Gb) - unbalanced - with one IP address for failsafe purpose? In case of 2.5Gb FAIL this BOND would hopefully fall back to 1Gb.

For uninstall the old driver r8152-braswell 2.14.0-2.spk, I used issue https://github.com/bb-qq/r8152/issues/299

remove via DSM
deleted the directory (only one found) usr/syno/etc/packages/r8152 Installed the new driver r8152-braswell-2.17.1-1_6.2.spk & rebooted

I created a BOND between LAN 1 and LAN 3 grafik

grafik Both network states seemed to be alright: SYNO 2500 Mb/s PC 2500 Mb/s But: Copy a large FILE to PC was only running with 100MB/sec .... :-(

If I disconnect LAN 1 Ethernet cable (BOND running only with USB3 2.5Gb) copy works as assumed with 210MB/sec grafik

Confusing.... I will run the next days DS716+ with only USB3-2.5Gb attached and report hopefully stability. Again a big thank you very much for adding the newest driver for BRASWELL with DSM 6.2

LAN3 r8152-braswell-2.17.1-1_6.2.spk is running fine for four days - no issues! USB HOT PLUG activated and succesfully tested with bash /var/packages/r8152/scripts/install-udev-rules REBOOT SYNO tested - success

Everything is fine, except using second LAN connector in parallel for backdoor (DSM-Login,ssh). LAN2 192.168.1.2 1000 MBit/s, Vollduplex, MTU 1500 LAN3 192.168.1.3 2500 MBit/s, Vollduplex, MTU 1500

On first run, copying SYNO to PC runs with ca. 200MB/sec. Obviously using SYNO LAN3 USB 2.5Gb with R8152 After SYNO REBOOT copying from SYNO to PC runs only with 100MB/sec... Seems that SYNO is using after REBOOT LAN2 with slow 1000Mb, not LAN3 with 2500Mb. Both LAN connection are CONNECTED and shown with correct speed.

Has anyone an idea, why SYNO is not using the more speedy port LAN3?

bb-qq commented 8 months ago

I haven't actually tried it, but I think DSM is not designed to combine interfaces of different speeds properly. Linux itself has the ability to specify interface priority, but it doesn't seem to be possible to do so in the GUI.

TheS1R commented 8 months ago

The GUI actually advises against it, but it does not prohibit it.

soleluna commented 8 months ago

So the SYNO 2.5Gb/1Gb issue is obviously not a problem of bb-qq's marvelous 8152 driver.

My combination is running fine for more than a week: DS716+ (BRASWELL) Version: 6.2.3-25426 Update 3 ULANSEN USB 3.0 to 2.5G Adapter (USBA8156B), front side

Thank you - bb-qq - again supplying the newest driver 2.17.1-1 with BRASWELL DSM6. From my point issue can be closed.
