2.5GB LAN and WAN with RTL8125BG cards

[mark_lab_user]

Looks like it is unofficially supported in FreeBSD13 by someone on github.

Not worth the time.

[stephenw10]

I don't see it listed explicitly in the 1.97 driver version that the realtek-re-kmod pkg we carry uses. We'd need to see the actual PCI IDs to know for sure.

[mark_lab_user]

@stephenw10 I ordered 2 TP-LINK TX201 Nic cards.
Installed one in my pfSense motherboard, replacing the TP-Link 1 Gbit card.
Put the other card in my desktop machine running Linux 5.15.0-72-generic kernel.

Prior to all this I installed realtek-re-kmod-198.00_1 driver and ran the 1GB card for a day with no problems

@mark_lab_user said in 2.5GB LAN and WAN with RTL8125BG cards:

I ordered 2 TP-LINK TX201 Nic cards.

At first I would say thank you to provide and
share your results and findings with the
community.

Installed one in my pfSense motherboard, replacing the TP-Link 1 Gbit card.

And there you were installing pfSense 23.05
or 2.6 or 2.7? Is it bare metal or as a VM host?

Did you add the following lines in the /boot/loader.conf.local ?

echo 'if_re_load="YES"' 
echo 'if_re_name="/boot/modules/if_re.ko"'

[mark_lab_user]

bare metal 23.05 and yes regarding the loader.conf file.

[leofire0479]

Hi, I'm also having a similar problem, my mini pc has a Realtek 8111G (seems to work perfectly out of the box at ~950mbps) and a realtek 8125BG pcie card (doesn't get detected).
I have tried installing drivers 198.00_1:

pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/realtek-re-kmod-198.00_1.pkg

I also added the following lines to the boot/loader.conf.local file:

if_re_load="YES"
if_re_name="/boot/modules/if_re.ko"

The problem still persists, I checked the OS Boot Logs and the 8125BG card is not detected, while the 8111G is detected correctly:

re0: <RealTek 8168/8111 B/C/CP/D/DP/E/F/G PCIe Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xd000-0xd0ff mem 0xfe900000-0xfe900fff,0xd0800000-0xd0803fff irq 28 at device 0.0 on pci2

When I installed the realtek-re-kmod package I got this error, without knowing how to fix it I just ignored it:

/root: pkg add https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:12:amd64/latest/All/realtek-re-kmod-198.00_1.pkg
Fetching realtek-re-kmod-198.00_1.pkg: 100% 97 KiB 98.8kB/s 00:01    
Installing realtek-re-kmod-198.00_1...
Newer FreeBSD version for package realtek-re-kmod:
To ignore this error set IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes
- package: 1204000
- running kernel: 1203500
Ignore the mismatch and continue? [y/N]: y

I am using FreeBSD 12.3 and PFsense 2.6.0, but if necessary I can upgrade to 2.7 beta.

Would you know how to help me get this 8125BG working?
Thank you and have a nice day.

Leo

Run pciconf -lv and make sure the NIC is seen on the PCI bus.

[mark_lab_user]

Because I am running pfSense 23.05-RELEASE which use what I assume is a customized FREEBSD-CURRENT from the NetGate tree, it is hard to say if pfSense 2.6 and/or FreeBSD 12.3 is a factor.

Unfortuneately RealTek don't seem to interested in drivers expect for Linux and Windoze. Too bad because they produce a high quality consumer grade product line and have a huge market share in MOBO's and NIC's and SOHO Switches. The big MOBO manuafacturers would not put there trust in RealTek chips unless they felt extremely comfortable with the chip set.

NetGate wants everyone to use Intel NIC's but that is just not realistic. The other option is to virtualize pfSense under something rock solid like ProxMox and the the Linux drivers will do the heavy lifting and always work.

[leofire0479]

@stephenw10 yes the NIC is seen by the PCI bus:

none1@pci0:1:0:0:	class=0x020000 card=0x012310ec chip=0x812510ec rev=0x05 hdr=0x00
    vendor     = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.'
    device     = 'RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller'
    class      = network
    subclass   = ethernet

@mark_lab_user I understand, I always heard that Intel NICs are better supported, but let's say my budget is very low and when I saw this card for 7€ on Amazon (price mistake lasted few minutes) I bought it without thinking too much. Thanks for suggesting to use Proxmox, I will keep it as option b, I don't want to keep too much load on my AMD GX-222GC, and also I read that virtualizing PFsense is not considered a good practice.

[stephenw10]

Check the boot log to make sure it's actually loading the driver and using it for the other NIC. It should show the driver version if it loads like:

May 28 15:12:32 	kernel 		re0: version:1.97.00 

[leofire0479]

@stephenw10 I didn't find anything similar to what you mentioned; to be sure, I'll send you the boot logs:
