Problens with DEC/Intel 21143 based quadport cards
-
Greetings,
I've been having problems with a D510MO Atom Mother board recognizing all the NICs on a 21143 quad port card. One of my cards is a Dlink DFE-570TX, the other is a PB0554E HEWLETT-PACKARD 4 PORT 10/100. The symptom for both is that the first two NICs have all 0xffs for the mac addresses, and pfsense doesn't recognize a change in link status for them, but everything works as expected for the other two NICs. I've tried pfsense versions 2.0.2, 2.0.3, and 2.1-RC0. Now if I use these cards on full size MoBos they work fine with pfsense, or if I boot SysRescuCD on the Atom D510MO board they work fine. I even tried RMAing the board, but the new one behaves exactly the same way.
I wonder if this is a similar problem to: http://www.holland-consulting.net/tech/ocep/21143.html
If this is a driver problem, is there patch or alternative driver (other than de) out there? After returning to this problem several times over many months, I am really at my wits end, I would like to use the ubiquitus 21143 quad port cards that you can find on ebay, and elsewhere for cheep.
Thanks for any suggestions,
Clif

Some more info,
This problem has been around for many years as evidenced by these postings in this forum:

http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,455.msg2795.html#msg2795I tried some of the suggestions mentioned here like setting the mac addresses, and the media type, but I could not get link to become active on the two problem ports. If there is a solution I would post it far and wide to try to save others hours of fruitless searching. ;-)
Thanks,

I have read a couple of reports of Atom based boards in which the BIOS writers appear to have taken some shortcuts, particularly concerning expansion cards with PCI bridges.
That your cards apparently work successfully on "full sized" motherboards but not on your Atom board (unless it is running system rescue CD which is based on Linux) suggests to me that maybe the BIOS is providing incomplete configuration information to FreeBSD or the information is wrong in the place FreeBSD looks for it. For example, maybe FreeBSD gets the wrong idea about IRQs for some of the devices.
When you say the cards work fine in a "full size" motherboard under pfSense and in the Atom motherboard under system rescue CD do you mean you have actually had them pass a significant amount of traffic or just they report "correct" MAC address or something in between?
Please choose one card and post the output of pfSense shell commands```
dmesg ; devinfo -r ; vmstat -iAs I have been writing this it also occurred to me that perhaps the mother board might not have all four PCI expansion slot interrupt lines active. As long as INTA worked most users wouldn't notice if the other interrupt lines didn't work and you might not notice in system rescue CD unless you did some significant data transfer.

Hey Wallabybob,
Thanks for the help. :-)
When you say the cards work fine in a "full size" motherboard under pfSense and in the Atom motherboard under system rescue CD do you mean you have actually had them pass a significant amount of traffic or just they report "correct" MAC address or something in between?
Please choose one card and post the output of pfSense shell commands
Code:dmesg ; devinfo -r ; vmstat -i
when the card is in the Atom motherboard and when it is in the "full sized" motherboard and in both cases after all ports have been enabled and passed some traffic.
Ok, I have just now run multiple hundreds of MBs using iperf in both scenarios. Of course I could only get two ports to work on the Atom MoBo.

I just did the same tests with SysRescuCD (Linux). As before I used two separate endpoint computers running iperf to move data through the test router with the Atom D510MO Board. I transfered two or three GB between pairs of interfaces on the same quad port card as before. Check the ifconfig output for details. The data rates on all ports in both directions was consistently just over 94Mb/s, so I can't complain.
I did notice right after boot up that all four ports had a few TX errors, mostly in the carrier bucket. The D510MO native NIC did not. I wonder if this might be a hint of something the driver noticed while configuring the board which it had a work around for?

You can see from the above, that interrupts 20 - 23 are assigned to the for NICs so that seems to be working correctly.Thanks for any suggestions,

lspci -vv from the root login would probably come close.

Yes, the interrupts assigned are the same on both operating systems. (They should be!)

Note that while I was trying to get the problem ports to sense carrier and become active I saw these console messages:
dc0: dc_netcfg_wait failed to force rx to idle state
dc1: dc_netcfg_wait failed to force rx to idle statedc_netcfg_wait() waits for up to 1000 time for status bits to get desired values. The loop includes a DELAY(10) call which should stall for 10 microseconds. Strange that on an Atom motherboard a 10mS delay doesn't seem long enough but it is long enough on a Dell motherboard. (Or do you see that reported on the Dell motherboard?)
PERHAPS on the Atom motherboard there is another device with I/O registers at the same addresses as those allocated to dc0 and dc1.
Does the BIOS on the Atom motherboard have a configuration option for Plug'n'Play OS? If so, what is its current setting? I believe Windows and Linux are plug and play operating systems (they do their own i/o device resource assignment) but FreeBSD is not a plug and play operating system (it relies on BIOS to do i/o device resource assignment). FreeBSD on the Atom board:dc0: <intel 10="" 21143="" 100basetx="">port 0x1180-0x11ff mem 0xe0100c00-0xe0100fff irq 21 at device 4.0 on pci6</intel>

I think their device registers can be accessed by EITHER i/o port addresses OR memory addresses but maybe in some cases there is a difference. The dc driver source has a compile time option to access the device registers through i/o ports or memory addresses. I don't know what was chose but the default seems to be to use memory ddresses.
