Intel Ethernet Controller I225-LM Support?

[stephenw10]

Are you able to get any data from the ONT? Logs etc?

[skzs012]

@stephenw10 That's all

2021-12-16 18:22:44 Info LETH
An Ethernet port is now connected (5/100/FULL)
2021-12-16 18:22:41 Info LETH
A device has been disconnected from an Ethernet port (5)

The card performs well when plugged into a 1Gb port.
But if the 2.5Gb port is plugged in and 1Gbase is forced, the connection will still be lost.
But the port can't be faulty since I tested another network card with a 1Gb connection, the 2.5Gb port works fine with it
I suspect a cable but I'm already trying the 3 cables CAT5E CAT6

[stephenw10]

But you would see it logged if the ONT did reboot?

It's clearly doing something different . You still seeing nothing logged? No watchdog events in the sysctls? Same as the LM card?

[skzs012]

@stephenw10 the ONT will not restart as it would take time for the PON network to compile. Yes, it's the same as the LM card. I have an acquaintance at the service provider who arrived with a new ONT I replaced it to see if the ONT still has the problem of the error only if it has this network card on it.

@stephenw10 It is interesting to give you igc intel pro / 1000 for me, however, I225-V.

I'll replace the ONT and see if that solves the problem

[stephenw10]

Ah, it's because I'm running 21.05 on that box:
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/RELENG_2_5_2/sys/dev/igc/if_igc.c#L46

The individual NIC descriptions were added after that.

@stephenw10 Oh, I see! I look forward to the new ONT I wonder if it will solve my problem. now I have a Sagemcom Fast 5670 and I am replacing it with a Technicolor FGA2233

I am looking at buying a card with an I225 on it. I will be using VLANs if that matters, and only running at 1Gbps for the foreseeable future.

Is it safe to buy one? Reading this thread it seems like it should work, but maybe the early revisions of the chip are duff.

[skzs012]

@kuro68k works perfectly well for me with a 1Gb / s connection! However, with a 2.5Gb / s connection, you discard the network card under load

[kuro68k]

@skzs012 Thanks. Hopefully by the time I get a 2.5G switch, any issues will be resolved.

[kuro68k]

I got the card and installed it. UEFI BIOS can see it in the slot, but pfSense 2.5.2 can't. I am downloading 2.7.0 nightly to test.

I thought it should work okay in 2.5.2 but perhaps not. Or maybe it's this card.

[stephenw10]

Check pciconf -lv at the command line so be sure pfSense sees the card at all.
Try just upgrading to 2.6-RC rather than 2.7.

@stephenw10 Thanks, but the card isn't seen by anything now. Looks like maybe it was just a dud. I'll RMA it I guess.

[kuro68k]

I fixed it. Most common fault with most cards is bad flash memory. I removed it, re-flashed it and installed it again. Card is now recognized.

However, I have other problems for which I will start my own thread.

[skzs012]

@kuro68k can you help me update? Maybe I could solve my problem with a 2.5g connection by discarding the card

[kuro68k]

@skzs012 Do you have a Windows install you can run the update from? Otherwise you can do it from a UEFI bootable memory stick.

I would only recommend doing it if you are prepared to brick it, or have an external programmer like mine and can unsolder the chip. In my experience updating Intel NIC firmware bricks the card about 50% of the time.

[skzs012]

@kuro68k if you can solve UEFI without soldering then maybe you can link a firmware file?

[kuro68k]

@skzs012 said in Intel Ethernet Controller I225-LM Support?:

@kuro68k if you can solve UEFI without soldering then maybe you can link a firmware file?

You can get the package here: https://www.mediafire.com/file/u824k3k978jl8b9/Intel_LAN_Firmware_Update_Tool_-_Intel_I225_2.5GbE_Firmware_v1.45_v1.0.zip/file

Format a USB stick to FAT32 and copy the files on, it should boot.

[skzs012]

@kuro68k Thanks for trying
