Triple Realtek 8110SC (Jetway Daughterboard)

asgari

Hi,

Yesterday I've tried 1.2.3 RC1 on my Jetway Mini-Itx box with Triple Gigabit daughterboard (3 x Realtek RTL8110SC) , and one internal NIC,
only internal NIC has detected, same as 1.2.2

Here is a photo of the daughterboard : http://i663.photobucket.com/albums/uu359/asgari/SANY0321-Low.jpg

Here is my pciconf -lv output :

Please advice.

Thanks in advance

I think the general consensus is to stay away from those boards as much as possible. Besides, I believe all the nics are on the PCI bus, which can realistically only handle the throughput of ONE gigabit nic. So with 3 or 4 on the same bus, performance will be horrible.

ktims

Well it looks like the only issue is that Jetway has changed the PCI IDs and that those IDs are not claimed by the re driver. It should be a trivial kernel patch to fix this, but I don't have the expertise or development environment set up to do it myself.

The devs seem to be fairly receptive to doing this themselves as it's likely a 30 second job.

@rockbochs:

For short bursts a PCI bus could handle transfers of data 1Gbps one direction. However there is still lots of applications where its performance is "good enough". (For example, out of your four interfaces one connecte sto the internet at 100Mbps and the other three are used predominantly for shared access to the internet.)

To asgari:
The FreeBSD 7.1 re driver doesn't seem to have any knowledge of the Realtek chip with device id 0x8149 (the three interfaces identified as none2, none3, none4 in the pciconf output). Its probably worthwhile lodging a FreeBSD problem report (goto http://www.freebsd.org/support/bugreports.html) to initiate a conversation with the FreeBSD developers about this. At best someone will need to add an entry to the "supported devices" table in the re driver. But there might need to be more work done, depending on the peculiarities of this particular device.

Thanks, done that, this is their response to problem report :

Old Synopsis: Realtek 8110SC with device ID 0x814910ec is not detected by FreeBSD 7.1. Most of New Mini-ITX boards are based on this chip.

To submitter: can you please try the patch at

and see if that makes a difference? If you still do not
get the extra interfaces, you should at least get extra lines
in the dmesg, please supply them. Thanks!
