Can't assign NIC [Aquantia Corp. AQC107]
-
@Gertjan
I normally just buy Intel NICs, but this NIC came bundled with my ASUS motherboard.I upgraded to 2.5 development in hopes it might have the driver included, but it didn't, and I couldn't find any detailed steps on how to add drivers so I'm just going to buy a chinese Intel NIC off eBay.
In 1-2 months I'll have my security cameras up and running
-
Seems like the driver can't get compiled against FreeBSD 11.3
FreeBSD 12.1 is working fine, but I'm not able to upload files to the forum anymore.
Should work with pfSense 2.5.x at least.-Rico

Here you go: https://fil.email/i9PmzTNH
Should work for 2.5.0 and could work for 2.4.5 (don't think so).Disclaimer:
Use at your own risk, take a backup first. I'd not put that in business production, should be fine for home use or playing around in a lab environment.-Rico
-
How the Installation should work (dry run / not tested, I don't own this NIC):
Unzip the file and place if_atlantic.ko into the /boot/kernel/ folder.
Change permissions via console or SSH:chmod 555 /boot/kernel/if_atlantic.ko
Edit /boot/loader.conf.local and add to the end of the file:if_atlantic_load="YES"
Reboot pfSense and see what happens. ;-)-Rico
-
Just to test it you can also run at the CLI:
kldload if_atlantic.koThat way if is fails and causes a panic it will still reboot again without loading it.

Thanks for this hint Steve.

Guess how I'm aware of that trap and what a PITA it is escaping it.

Works like a charm and only took a few seconds....
Thanks guys!Going to spend a few days testing before I make the change permanent.
-
Glad you have it working.
Did you also try with 2.4.5-p1 ?-Rico

As THE hardware expert, any idea why make goes downhill in 11.3? ;-)root@freebsd11:~/freebsd-drv-v0.0.2 # make machine -> /usr/src/sys/amd64/include x86 -> /usr/src/sys/x86/include awk -f /usr/src/sys/tools/makeobjops.awk /usr/src/sys/kern/device_if.m -h awk -f /usr/src/sys/tools/makeobjops.awk /usr/src/sys/kern/bus_if.m -h awk -f /usr/src/sys/tools/makeobjops.awk /usr/src/sys/dev/pci/pci_if.m -h awk -f /usr/src/sys/tools/makeobjops.awk /usr/src/sys/net/ifdi_if.m -h :> opt_rss.h Warning: Object directory not changed from original /root/freebsd-drv-v0.0.2 cc -O2 -pipe -DIFLIB -ferror-limit=1 -fno-strict-aliasing -Werror -D_KERNEL -DKLD_MODULE -nostdinc -I/usr/include -I. -I/usr/src/sys -fno-common -fno-omit-frame-pointer -mno-omit-leaf-frame-pointer -MD -MF.depend.aq_main.o -MTaq_main.o -mcmodel=kernel -mno-red-zone -mno-mmx -mno-sse -msoft-float -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables -ffreestanding -fwrapv -fstack-protector -Wall -Wredundant-decls -Wnested-externs -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Winline -Wcast-qual -Wundef -Wno-pointer-sign -D__printf__=__freebsd_kprintf__ -Wmissing-include-dirs -fdiagnostics-show-option -Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wno-error-tautological-compare -Wno-error-empty-body -Wno-error-parentheses-equality -Wno-error-unused-function -Wno-error-pointer-sign -Wno-error-shift-negative-value -Wno-error-address-of-packed-member -mno-aes -mno-avx -std=iso9899:1999 -c aq_main.c -o aq_main.o aq_main.c:260:3: error: field designator 'isc_tso_maxsize' does not refer to any field in type 'struct if_shared_ctx'; did you mean 'isc_tx_maxsize'? .isc_tso_maxsize = HW_ATL_B0_TSO_SIZE, ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ isc_tx_maxsize /usr/include/net/iflib.h:236:13: note: 'isc_tx_maxsize' declared here bus_size_t isc_tx_maxsize; ^ fatal error: too many errors emitted, stopping now [-ferror-limit=] 2 errors generated. *** Error code 1 Stop. make: stopped in /root/freebsd-drv-v0.0.2 root@freebsd11:~/freebsd-drv-v0.0.2 #Also tried 11.2 with the same Error. 12.1 is just fine.
I don't have any personal use for this driver, but like to understand what's going wrong there and maybe can give some more help for Roy. :-)-Rico
-
Ha, I think you've promoted me.
I would guess it's because that is a driver built on iflib and some part of that is missing. A number of drivers are using that now but only in FreeBSD 12 AFAIK. But that is a guess, my coding skilz are.... not great!
-
I was able to build driver version 0.0.5 for FreeBSD 11.3 (pfSense 2.4.5-p1):
https://fil.email/Y9QJQFqvAnd here is 0.0.5 for FreeBSD 12.1 (pfSense 2.5.0):

@Rico Could I trouble you to repost these files? They are expired and it would be a great help. Thanks!
-
Yeah sure.
FreeBSD 11.3 (pfSense 2.4.5-p1): if_atlantic0.0.5_freebsd11.3.zip
FreeBSD 12.1 (pfSense 2.5.0): if_atlantic0.0.5_freebsd12.1.zip
They should stay permanent now because I can upload zip files to the Forum again.

@rico Thanks, worked perfectly.
-
@rico URGENT Any chance you could compile for FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE for 2.5.0-RELEASE? The version for 12.1 above crashes it, unsurprisingly...
Thanks in advance!
-
You should compile it yourself or use the kmod port in FreeBSD 12.2.
It's unlikely there is any issue here but downloading and installing random binaries from the forum is really not a great habit to get into.
Steve
-
@stephenw10 Huh, I couldn’t find the kmod port, I should have said. Yes, yes it’s not advisable. ;-)
Unfortunately I don’t have even a 12.2 VM currently available to build on either. VBox issue with MacOS Big Sur, don’t you know? Grrrr...
Thank you for the link. The naming convention seems to be all over the place on this one.

So I temporarily enabled the FreeBSD repo by editing /usr/local/etc/pkg/reposI then:
root# pkg install aquantia-atlantic-kmod Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue... FreeBSD repository is up to date.

root# kldload -nv if_atlantic.koWhich promptly panicked the kernel.
Any ideas?

@rico 2.5.0-RELEASE (amd64)
FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE
Doesn't work with 12.2. PFsense can't boot. Only nic remove helps.Command pkg install aquantia-atlantic-kmod helped to work adapter, but dwonload speed is about 2.6 gigabit/s and upload is about 470 Mbit/s via iperf.
Manual setup duplex can't be enabled, it says: The following input errors were detected:
The Router Advertisements Server is active on this interface and it can be used only with a static IPv6 configuration. Please disable the Router Advertisements Server service on this interface first, then change the interface configuration.
But it disabled.
Hardware is enough for 110gbit speed.
