SysKonnect SK-9E22

jackfrost · Apr 10, 2008, 4:00 PM

Hi all, did a forum search but didn't find anything on this model… HCL list is from 2005, so not there either.

Anyways, short intro is that I bought a Dell GX280 SFF with a 160gb hard drive, 2gb of ram, 3ghz p4 with HT... pretty powerful little beast (and pretty cheap), even if the world has moved onto Core2. Planning on using it for heavy caching, and some dual lan + dual wan stuff.

I have a D-Link Gigabit DGE-530T adapter in the PCI slot, and the SysKonnect SK-9E22 in the PCI x16 slot. The SK-9E22 is a dual port NIC, so that gives me a total of 4 ports (onbaord Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit is the fourth).

The dell came installed with windows xp, and I tested all the cards in windows xp, everything shows up, etc. (Had to do a bios update before the SK-9E22 worked in the x16 slot though).

When I booted from the 1.2-RELEASE cd, it only saw the onboard and the D-Link controllers, and not the Syskonnect one. There is a driver available for freebsd 6.0 at http://www.syskonnect.de/e_en/products/adapters/pcie_server/sk-9e22/SK-9E22.html?navid=9

My question is twofold:
1.) Should pfsense be seeing the SK-9E22 and something is wrong?
2.) If there isn't something wrong, will I be able to use the driver linked on that page after pfsense is installed?

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks!

P.S. Does anyone know of some quad or dual port PCI NICs that come in SFF (small form factor) brackets?

How about a triple nic ;)

Not sure about the driver but check your bios and if it has an option for pnp os turn it off and retry. Posting the dmesg output of the box might help too. You can grab it at from http://<pfsense-ip>/status.php (hidden webguipage).</pfsense-ip>

Thanks for the response… in the dmesg it looks like it sees the device, but has no driver... going to install it to the hard drive, then try to install the driver i guess.

Network interface mismatch -- Running interface assignment option.

Valid interfaces are:

bge0    00:0f:1f:db:82:cf
sk0     00:19:5b:84:00:e2

Do you want to set up VLANs first?
If you are not going to use VLANs, or only for optional interfaces, you should
say no here and use the webConfigurator to configure VLANs later, if required.

Do you want to set up VLANs now [y|n]?

*NOTE*  pfSense requires *AT LEAST* 2 assigned interfaces to function.
        If you do not have two interfaces you CANNOT continue.

        If you do not have at least two *REAL* network interface cards
        or one interface with multiple VLANs then pfSense *WILL NOT*
        function correctly.

If you do not know the names of your interfaces, you may choose to use
auto-detection. In that case, disconnect all interfaces now before
hitting 'a' to initiate auto detection.

Enter the LAN interface name or 'a' for auto-detection:

Enter the WAN interface name or 'a' for auto-detection:

Enter the Optional 1 interface name or 'a' for auto-detection
(or nothing if finished):

The interfaces will be assigned as follows:

LAN  -> sk0
WAN  -> bge0

Some more low profile info- I have used the Intel dual GB cards (both PCI-X and PCIe) in low-profile cases. Most of the cards will fit, you just have to make sure you order one with a LP bracket. Intel also has a LP quad-port PCIe card, but I haven't tried it. http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/server/pro1000pt_quad_lp/index.htm

jackfrost · Apr 10, 2008, 4:39 PM

Thanks, I'll look into that intel quad port… looks useful.

When I installed pfsense to the hard drive, I used the SMP kernel... now, when I look at the packages in the webui, I can't find a developers package listed...

When I look at one of my other pfsense boxes, it shows (under installed packages) in the Package version field: Current: Unknown. Installed: 0.1

I'm guessing its not on the package server? Anyone know where I could direct download it?

jackfrost · Apr 11, 2008, 10:57 PM

Well, I got the interface kinda working… after much fun, and 6+ reinstalls of pfsense... ::)

After getting everything installed, i found that the driver required libmbpool, which I had to retrieve from a pfsense 1.2-beta2 box.

My current issue is that it only sees 1 port on the interface, not 2...

Anyone know anything about getting both ports to show up?

wallabybob · Apr 14, 2008, 1:04 PM

Please post the dmesg output of startup with the single port on the syskonnect recognised.

It will be curious to see if the two ports are seen but the driver fails to attach to one port OR only port is seen.

I'm not familiar with that card. Is is a PCI-E x1 card?

Do you have any PCI-E x1 slots in the system?

Do you get a different result if you plug the card into a PCI-E x1 slot?

Please also post the output of the shell command "pciconf -l"

Where did you get the driver for the syskonnect card?

jackfrost · Apr 14, 2008, 4:39 PM

I got the driver at: http://www.syskonnect.de/e_en/products/adapters/pcie_server/sk-9exx/software/freebsd/6_0/ykbsd60x86-8.12.1.3.tgz

The card is an pci-e x4 card, and I only have an x16 slot in the system.

It looks like only one port is seen… not sure why.

Thanks, thats good information.

Multiport LAN cards I have experience with are built two different ways:

a PCI bridge interfacing to the slot and a number of separate LAN devices downstream (away from the CPU) of this bridge. Your card is clearly not a card like that.
a "multi function" PCI chip with effectively multiple NICs in the one PCI "device". Your card is clearly not like that either.

I saw your card is supported by the msk driver in FreeBSD 7.0. I went looking in the driver and it appears (from memory) that the driver creates a mskc device for the single function PCI device on the card and creates one or two (depending on the chip) msk child FreeBSD devices.

I downloaded the same version of the yk driver you did but a little over two years ago. A quick scan through that and I didn't see any place where it might create two FreeBSD devices for a single PCI device, hence I suspect the yk driver you downloaded will support only one port.

This post (http://blog.pfsense.org/?p=174) suggests pFSense 1.3 which is based on FreeBSD 7.0 will be out for testing quite soon. Perhaps if you need the second port and are prepared to work with the early versions you could wait for pfSense 1.3. The msk driver could probably be backported to FreeBSD 6.2 but I suspect it could be a bit more involved than a recompile.

If you need something quicker and don't mind spending the money, the best alternative is probably an Intel multiport GigE card. If you can get one based on the 82571 chip it should just work. (The 82575 chip is a bit newer and may not work with the FreeBSD 6.2 em driver. If I recall correctly, pfSense 1.2 is based on FreeBSD 6.2.)
