TU2-ETG USB Network adapter (ax88178) issue
-
Hi All!
I have bought Trendnet TU2-ETG USB Network adapter (ax88178 chipset) to use with pfSense (1.2.3) .
The system has recognized it automatically:
axe0: flags=108802 <broadcast,simplex,multicast,needsgiant>metric 0 mtu 1500 ether 00:50:b6:04:cd:5e media: Ethernet autoselect (none <hw-loopback>) status: no carrier</hw-loopback></broadcast,simplex,multicast,needsgiant>
But the link is DOWN both with cross and ordinary network cords, switches and other LAN adapters.
It successfully works under Windows XP - but not with pfSense.
May I change something to make it work?
Please, save me!!! :)

Sounds like a FreeBSD driver problem. Try 1.2.3-RC3, newer FreeBSD version might work.
-
Thanks, I'm already using 1.2.3 RC3, latest build..
Should I try to install FreeBSD 8 RC3 to test with it?
-
Odd that is shows hw-loopback. Have you tried manually setting the media and mediaopts from the shell?
-
I've tried to manually set media type with the same negative result.
Yesterday I've tried with FreeBSD 8.0 RC3, and it works fine…
So, the problem is related to 7 FreeBSD version.
Unfortunately, current pfSense release is also based on 7.2 .. And alpha release is still alpha...
