Issue with upgrade and install latest version

naksu

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 1 0xffffffff83f21000 1000 cpuctl.ko
3 1 0xffffffff83f22000 3d00 if_ure.ko

Its loaded allready i can see.

Ok, looks to be loaded, yes.

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

@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.

@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).

Here is pastebin:

I can find

ure0 on uhub6
ure0: <Realtek USB 10/100/1000 LAN, class 0/0, rev 3.00/30.00, addr 4> on usbus0

stephenw10

Mmm, OK that looks to be working correctly.

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

@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.

naksu

mmmm

I installed 2.4.5-p1 back and check, there is no ure.

And speed is normal, no limits.

stephenw10

Hmm, not sure what that is then.
