Network issue, DS3622xs+, RTL8111 with r8169

[SebbesApa]

Hi,

I have a problem with no ethernet activity after booting. Loading DSM kernel... Booting... and 30 seconds later, give or take, no ethernet activity. The physical console hangs as well and i have to shut down the pc with the power button. I have the chipset RTL8111 and it seems to me that the driver exists in the loader (Kernel driver in use: r8169)

Previously i got this to work with TCRP 0.8.0.0/0.8.0.5, broadwellnk-7.1.0-42621 (DS3622xs+)

I've attached some log files as well as my config. Anyone that can see what i'm missing? Is there some other log that can be of use? dmesg.log lspci -nnk.log user-config.yml.txt

Thanks!

you can test it extract file and use ssh copy folder to /mnt/p3/addons/

add new addons rt8169

rebuild loader

Sorry, my English is bad.

rt8169.zip

[SebbesApa]

Unfortunately the result is the same with that rt8169 addon.

[fbelavenuto]

Then in your case the better module to use is the r8168.

[SebbesApa]

Getting a "Addon r8168 not found!" when i added r8168: "" to the user-config. Guessing that it is not included and i have to manually add it? If so, do you have a link to it?

[fbelavenuto]

Do not exists an addon called "r8168", is necessary delete the "r8169.ko" from modules and do not delete the "r8168.ko". Please type this commands inside ARPL:

cd /mnt/p3/modules ls mkdir broadwellnk gzip -dc broadwellnk-4.4.180.tgz | tar xf - -C broadwellnk cd broadwellnk rm r8169.ko tar cf /tmp/broadwellnk-4.4.180.tar * cd /mnt/p3/modules gzip /tmp/broadwellnk-4.4.180.tar mv /tmp/broadwellnk-4.4.180.tar.gz broadwellnk-4.4.180.tgz

Then access ARPL typing "menu.sh", rebuild the loader and test it.

[fbelavenuto]

To make it easier, use this pre-release (re-burn the image): https://github.com/fbelavenuto/arpl/actions/runs/3184033056 (Get in Artifacts session)

Select the model, buildnumber and the rest and before creating the loader go to the menu "Modules" option "Choose modules to include" and de-select r8169, leaving r8168 selected.

[SebbesApa]

The result is the same, not ethernet activity after "booting". Tried both removing r8169.ko manually like your first example as well as unchecking r8169 under "choose modules" in your pre release v0.5-alpha1.

[fbelavenuto]

To finish the test, please leave only r8169 selected and deselect r8168 (leave the other modules all selected)

[SebbesApa]

Same result with only r8169.

[SebbesApa]

Is there any test i can do in TCRP to see what the difference is between the loaders?

[SebbesApa]

Just tested TCRP 0.9.2.7 with broadwellnk-7.1.1-42962 and it's using r8169 for my mainboard. Ethernet connectivity works well with that.

Please update modules, select only r8169 (deselect r8168) and try again

[SebbesApa]

Updated the modules and made sure only r8169 was selected, but with the same result, no eth connectivity :-/

[fbelavenuto]

Ok, I've replaced the r8169.ko with the pocopico's r8169.ko I will need to study more.

[SebbesApa]

Updated everything within 0.5-alpha1, but still the same problem. Don't understand if pocopico's r8169.ko should fix this or not, of if I get that if i update everything within ARPL.

[SebbesApa]

Did the tests with v1.0-beta2. Same results.

[fabio-ffclrp]

Ok, thanks for the test. I still haven't found a solution for your case, but I'm looking.

[fbelavenuto]

Please update ARPL, reboot, update modules, addons and lkm, rebuild the loader and test it.

[SebbesApa]

Updated to v1.0-beta11a as well as modules, addons and lkm but unfortunately it does not work.

[fbelavenuto]

Ok, thanks for the test
