Issue with upgrade and install latest version

Gertjan

What USB ethernet adapter ?
What driver name ?

Can't you try a setup that isn't "USB" related ?
FreeBSD is probably good in handling USB drives. The rest is problematic, at best.

without that backup.

Use the last backup you made when your system was "2.4.5-p1"

[ 1235.861039] usbcore: registered new interface driver r8152
[ 1235.864801] usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_ether

freebsd reconize that usb adapter well, i try install it without that and with that adapter. But i cannot see that usb ethernet adapter in interfaces.

Check the log "what did the kernel find during hardware inventory check" : Status > System > Logs > System > OS Boot

Or consult "dmesg" on the SSJ (console) access.

hi,

i check it

here is pastebin for that log:

any idea? When i installes older version its working, so i think problem is some where in latest version

i update to 2.6.0-DEVELOPMENT (amd64) and its working now, so i think problem is 2.5 kernel or something.

But that version 2.6.0 for some reason limit my internet speed 200 to 40-50. Same issue than i tested opensense latest version.

Run: usbconfig dump_device_desc with the adaptors attached so we can see the IDs and find out what driver that are/were using.

Some USB Ethernet devices can use the generic driver but generally see poor performance compared to the specific device driver. That sounds like what you're seeing.

That said it's much better to avoid USB Ethernet completely if you can.

I only see one USB Ethernet device listed there

ugen0.5: <Realtek USB 10/100/1000 LAN> at usbus0, cfg=0 md=HOST spd=SUPER (5.0Gbps) pwr=ON (64mA)
 
  bLength = 0x0012 
  bDescriptorType = 0x0001 
  bcdUSB = 0x0300 
  bDeviceClass = 0x0000  <Probed by interface class>
  bDeviceSubClass = 0x0000 
  bDeviceProtocol = 0x0000 
  bMaxPacketSize0 = 0x0009 
  idVendor = 0x0bda 
  idProduct = 0x8153 
  bcdDevice = 0x3000 
  iManufacturer = 0x0001  <Realtek>
  iProduct = 0x0002  <USB 10/100/1000 LAN>
  iSerialNumber = 0x0006  <000001000000>
  bNumConfigurations = 0x0002

This: https://usb-ids.gowdy.us/read/UD/0bda/8153

That should be recognised by 2.5:
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/RELENG_2_5_0/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs#L3983

And supported by the ure(4) driver:
https://github.com/pfsense/FreeBSD-src/blob/RELENG_2_5_0/sys/dev/usb/net/if_ure.c#L73

Is it detected as a ure device in 2.6 or just cdce?

Steve

stephenw10

...except that is appears ure(4) is not built in 2.6:

[2.6.0-DEVELOPMENT][admin@26dev.stevew.lan]/root: kldstat -v | grep ure
[2.6.0-DEVELOPMENT][admin@26dev.stevew.lan]/root: kldstat -v | grep axe
		381 axe/miibus
		380 uhub/axe

Unlike, as an example, axe(4).
But I expect it to be becasue:
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/11125
Only since 9 days ago though!

Steve

stephenw10

But looking at the actual diff file there it's created as a module, you need to load it.

So do:

[2.6.0-DEVELOPMENT][admin@26dev.stevew.lan]/root: kldload if_ure

Then check it has loaded with:

[2.6.0-DEVELOPMENT][admin@26dev.stevew.lan]/root: kldstat
Id Refs Address                Size Name
 1   17 0xffffffff80200000  3ae8530 kernel
 2    1 0xffffffff83f19000     1000 cpuctl.ko
 3    1 0xffffffff83f1a000     2698 intpm.ko
 4    1 0xffffffff83f1d000      b40 smbus.ko
 5    1 0xffffffff83f1e000     8cd0 aesni.ko
 6    1 0xffffffff83f27000     3d00 if_ure.ko

You will probably see it attach to the NIC immediately.

If it works you can do:

echo if_ure_load=YES >> /boot/loader.conf.local

That will load the module at boot.

@stephenw10

I have right now only 1 usb ethernet adapter connected (wan is from mb lan port).

i have now latest 2.6.0.a.20210227.0100 updated today.

Let's see if I can still install that 2.5 version and take the logs from it. In version 2.6 that usb ethernet would seem to work, but someone limits the speed pretty much.

[2.6.0-DEVELOPMENT][admin@pfSense.home.int]/root: kldstat
Id Refs Address Size Name
1 10 0xffffffff80200000 3ae8530 kernel
2 1 0xffffffff83f21000 1000 cpuctl.ko
3 1 0xffffffff83f22000 3d00 if_ure.ko

Its loaded allready i can see.

stephenw10

Ok, looks to be loaded, yes.

Do you see a ure0 device in the logs at all? Are you loading that module at boot?

Steve

naksu

@stephenw10

I would think it loaded the driver at boot because I didn’t have to load it manually.

Could the wrong driver affect the fact that it limits network traffic to a maximum of 500Mbps. I have a 1000Mbps lan network and in the previous version 2.4.5 everything worked perfectly.

stephenw10

Yes, it could. We have seen other cases where the cdce generic USB Ethernet driver performed significantly worse.
Check the logs for ure entries.

Or course if could just be a bad NIC. It's both USB and Realtek which both have bad reputations in FreeBSD/pfSense.

Steve

naksu

@stephenw10

Ok thanks, i will check logs. What i have to find there that i can find logs for ure (or where)?

stephenw10

Any mention of ure in the system log or dmesg or /var/log/dmesg.boot (if you have not rebooted for a while).

stephenw10

Mmm, OK that looks to be working correctly.

So you could get >500Mbps though it in 2.4.5, even without that driver?

Steve

naksu

@stephenw10

Ok,

yes its limit my speed some reason , i have 1Gbit lan network and 200Mbps internet connection, download speed is only about 50Mbps from internet.

I try to install 2.4.5 back today and check what drivers that usb lan card will use, because 2.4.5, i get full speed from internet and lan to lan.
