Alix APU1D4 re2 not detected by pciconf -lv
-
Hi @all,
today, i ran into a strange issue with a brand new Alix APU1D4 board.
After installing pfSense 2.2 AMD64 on this machine, i was able to connect via PPPoE on the WAN side (re0) and my LAN (re1),
everything seemed to work properly.But when i tried to enable re2 in "interfaces" as OPT1, this NIC did not appear in the list :o
I looged in via ssh and ran a "pciconf -lv" - this is the result:
===============================
re0@pci0:1:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x012310ec chip=0x816810ec rev=0x06 hdr=0x00
class = network
subclass = ethernet
none1@pci0:2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x012310ec chip=0x816810ec rev=0x06 hdr=0x00
class = network
subclass = ethernet
re1@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x012310ec chip=0x816810ec rev=0x06 hdr=0x00
class = network
subclass = ethernetWhat´s up with this "none1@pci0:2:0:0: entry? Am i right or am i wrong: the NIC seems to be dead?
Also in "dmesg" the re2 NIC is not displayed.
I could´t find any corresponding BIOS setting, such as "activate NICxx" or something like this.What do you guys think about this? Any ideas what i can do else except a "return to sender"?
Thanks a lot to all of you!Best regards

Hi,
sorry for not searching "deep" enough on this :-[ and thanks for the link.
I hope that i´m not gonna have the same hardware issues like some other users are reporting…Now i will try to re-install with all NIC´s connected - latest FW is installed. In addition, there is
link/act blinking (on re2) while connected to a switch. Strange stuff.Visually, the board seems to be in a fine condition, no detached parts, obviously. It´s 4 days old :(
I will keep you informed on what´s the result!
Cheers

UPDATE:
Hi all,
after deeper investigating with the tech. support of the vendor, he considers to replace the mainboard
because of a technical defect. As you can read in several forums, it seems as if there were common
issues with this kind of mainboard.Unfortunately, this type of mainboard is currently not available. I will keep you up to date.
