Can't assign NIC [Aquantia Corp. AQC107]

stephenw10

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!

Rico

I was able to build driver version 0.0.5 for FreeBSD 11.3 (pfSense 2.4.5-p1):

And 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!

Rico

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!

stephenw10

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.

@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.

@stephenw10
So I temporarily enabled the FreeBSD repo by editing /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos

I then:

root# pkg install aquantia-atlantic-kmod

You may need to manually remove /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf if it is no longer needed.

Then I did a:

root# kldload -nv if_atlantic.ko

Which 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.

You should never enable the FreeBSD repos if you can help it as you might pull in other pkgs and break stuff. Like it pulled in pkg above from...somewhere.
Just 'pkg add' things directly instead if you need a FreeBSD package.

I have no hardware to test but I can load the module just fine:

[2.5.1-RC][admin@25dev.stevew.lan]/root: kldload if_atlantic
[2.5.1-RC][admin@25dev.stevew.lan]/root: kldstat
Id Refs Address                Size Name
 1   12 0xffffffff80200000  3aea720 kernel
 2    1 0xffffffff83f19000     1000 cpuctl.ko
 3    1 0xffffffff83f1a000     2698 intpm.ko
 4    1 0xffffffff83f1d000      b40 smbus.ko
 5    1 0xffffffff83f1e000     9fc0 if_atlantic.ko

What was the panic you saw?

@stephenw10 It's for me message about repos?
But how to make driver works. Last time I was trying like here https://gist.github.com/jovimon/524e116471f249626fd2ccd141f3fe05 for 2.5gigabit nic and it helped. Now there is no "make" file in directory from official driver https://www.marvell.com/support/downloads.html

stephenw10

No the pkg reply was for @daplumber. He enabled the full FreeBSD package repo rather than installing a single pkg dircetkly. And that's dangerous.
https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/recipes/freebsd-pkg-repo.html

I have no way to test any version of this driver beyond loading the kernel module that checks it's compatible with the kernel.

Steve

l9396

@stephenw10 So there is no nothing dangerous in command "pkg install aquantia-atlantic-kmod"?

stephenw10

That will only work if the package exists in the configured pkg repo and it's not in the pfSense repo. If that does work you have enabled the full FreeBSD repo and that is dangerous.

You should use "pkg add <full path to package>" and not enable the FreeBSD repo.

Steve

@stephenw10 Thank you. I will disable it.

daplumber

@stephenw10 I temporarily enabled the FreeBSD repo only long enough to check for dependencies and install the kmod pkg. I then disabled it again.

I think I understand the warning and risks and DEFINITELY do not want to leave it enabled.

daplumber

@stephenw10

So I did the install as requested and :

@daplumber said in Can't assign NIC [Aquantia Corp. AQC107]:

kldload: if_atlantic.ko will be loaded from /boot/kernel, not the current directory

So what module did it actually load? You have a different module in /boot/kernel?

If you remove the card does the module load without throwing a panic?
