Jetway Triple GIGA LAN Add-on Board (AD3RTLANG)
-
P.S. Rumor has it that Sullrich has a new snapshot as of 12-04-06 with a FreeBSD 6.2 build. I'm going to test this on a Phylon 7F2WE-1G5 with the 3 port gigabit module and report back.

Even newer snapshot: http://www.pfsense.com/~sullrich/1.0.1-SNAPSHOT-12-06-2006/

Snapshot 12-08-06 with FreeBSD 6.2 works 'out of the box' on the board I have with the 3x1000BT addon card. My configuration is a 1.5 GHz VIA C7 Processor, with 1024 MB of DDR2 533 Kingston Ram, with a 1GB Kingston Elite Pro 50x compact flash card, on a Travla C137B with a 120W power supply. I also have 2 1000BT Intel Nic's as backup in the rig.
I hammered the hardware all night with about 20k connections per second and full throughput and didn't experience any problems on the realtek nic's. Apparently Realtek got the updates into FreeBSD 6.2.
Anyways, for those that care, the Phylon 7F2WE-1G5 Mini-ITX Mainboard with Fan 7F2WE‑1G5 and the Phylon 3x 1Gb LAN module [AD3RTLANG] Add-on module for the Phylon 7F2WE series mainboards, works out of the box with Snapshot 12-08-06.
Thanks Sullrich for your constant dedication to the project.
Well, time to go build a few production scale boxes in 1U travla rackmounts….

Yay! Glad to hear its working.
-
Thank you gbelanger! Providing the compiled driver really made my day and saved me a lot of work!
Using your precompiled driver worked like a charm on my new Jetway Board. -

Does your card still work with the latest snapshots?
I have a Jetway board with the AD3RTLANG daughterboard, and the only way I can get it working is manually installing the driver still - 6.2 snapshots don't seem to work for me.

I'm a Jetway reseller in Canada and find out that there is at least two AD3RTLANG board using different Realtek chip. 1.0.1 release works fine with the first gen RTL8110S-32 and not the RTL8110SC

I haven't had a chance to test with the january era snapshots but I will.
I have a cloned system setup in a Travla 1U rackmount with the exact same hardware that I'm building. I'll let you know if the latest snapshots are working.
-
I haven't followed up much, sorry.
My 'manually' compiled driver still does the job just fine here. I too am making 1U's with travla boxes, except I use the C146 case. Its bigger but it looks alot meaner. I also like the spring-loaded ComptactFlash reader in the front.
Note that the JetWay boards are different from the Via boards and that the C146 doesnt come with the right IOShield to accomodate the triple-lan daughterboard. My distributor has overcome this issue by having custom IOShields engineered. If anybody needs some, I can put you in contact.
-
Who is your distributor for this stuff? I've been looking for custom I/O shields for the Travla cases. Thanks!

Hi All,
So is anyone having any luck with these boards? I eventually compiled the 172 rev of the rtl driver with version 1.0.1 and things almost work correctly. The current problem is that the NIC isn't properly configured no a cold boot (warm boots seem to work OK).
If anyone has gotten this to reliability work with either the 172 or 171 driver can you please reply with how?
I'm wondering if there has been a new rev out that causes these problems, so again if anyone has this working could run a pciconf -l -v and output the results it'd be appreciated.

Replying to myself, in case anyone else has the same issue.
After posting a bug report to the freebsd list, I received a patch for the 6.2 rev of the driver. I was able to compile a pfsense kernel with this change in place and all is good.
In case anyone wants a copy of this please let me know.
-
Has anyone checked which throughput is possible with this board between two gigabit ports (lan to lan traffic)?
-
paulpthcom: I am interested in getting a copy of that kernel. I've also had the same problems with warm/cold boots and the interfaces not coming up. Thanks! ;D
fwuser07: Sustained 'near' 100mbit traffic has not been a problem with these addon boards. Unfortunately, I don't have any other gigabit devices handy to check gig throughput.. :(

Just upgraded to 1.2-BETA2 today, still no support for the daughterboard with the RTL8110SC chip. Working fine with the RTL8110S-32
Will try gbelanger module tonight.

Any follow up on the current state of these drivers ?
Be good to be able to keep up to date info on our product pages,
Nick.

Any Update to this?
Anyone get the SC version working on a new snapshot?Looking into getting a M300-LCD with a tripple gigabit card but want to make sure it will work first…
-
Anyone test with 1.2 release? Did support get added? I'm looking at a new hardware buy and the jeyways price is hard to beat. 1.0.1 was fine.

Hello,
The Jetway-board that I am using is called J7F2EDEN12G and the J2AD3RTLANG I am using unfortunately has the 8110SC-chipset.
I was able to run 1.01 just fine using the driver provided in this thread. Thanks again for that!
The only thing I could not use was the traffic shaper because altq is not supported by this rl-driver.
Hence my desire to upgrade to 1.2, hoping that the re-driver would support that.
However, my upgrade to 1.2 was not that succesful and now I am back to my old configuration.After installing 1.2 I saw pfsense being stuck "starting" the NICs during booting the system. The system would not finish booting.
I somehow managed to get a running pfsense 1.2 just by trying out different NIC-combinations of the AD3RTLANG to be LAN/WAN at setup.
The system then worked fine just once but when I changed my NIC-configuration back to my original plans the system would be stuck at bootup again.
Really annoying and not an acceptable solution.User paulpthcom from some posts above has probably posted this one here:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-bugs/2007-March/023060.html
I think my problem looks quite like that.My pciconf-output:
# pciconf -l -v rl0@pci0:9:0: class=0x020000 card=0x10ec16f3 chip=0x816710ec rev=0x10 hdr=0x00 class = network subclass = ethernet rl1@pci0:11:0: class=0x020000 card=0x10ec16f3 chip=0x816710ec rev=0x10 hdr=0x00 class = network subclass = ethernet rl2@pci0:12:0: class=0x020000 card=0x10ec16f3 chip=0x816710ec rev=0x10 hdr=0x00 class = network subclass = ethernet vr0@pci0:18:0: class=0x020000 card=0x01021106 chip=0x30651106 rev=0x78 hdr=0x00 class = network subclass = ethernet
My 2 cents here: If Jetway only built a daughterboard with some quality NICs, this Realtek-stuff has never been decent (performancewise). I'd be willing to pay two/three (ok, preferrably two times) times the price for the AD3RTLANG.
But, anyway, that has been my experience with the new 1.2 so far. I would love to actually use it but I guess so far I am stuck with 1.01. :-(

After installing 1.2 I saw pfsense being stuck "starting" the NICs during booting the system. The system would not finish booting.
It'll hang on any interface without a link. You can even jumper two empty interfaces together and it'll boot. But you might just want to unassign the interfaces if you're not using them.
I posted about this a while back, and was encouraged to hack on the driver, but I'm waiting on 1.3 to do that so we're synched with current FreeBSD development.
