Intel ATOM D945GCLF onboard LAN driver-card problem
-
I recently purchased Intel ATOM D945GCLF mini ITX board (excelent router in my opininon). I put another PIC 10/100 MB Level one network card. When I try to install Pfsense I detect only one card-PCI card is detected, onboard not. Onboard card is 10/100 Mbits/sec LAN subsystem using the Realtek* LAN adapter device.
How to fix this problem? ???
Any help is much apreciated.
Regards

Is the card on the HCL?
If not you wont have much luck getting it running.You could try to install the inofficial 1.2.1 version which is based on FreeBSD 6.3 and supports more hardware.
http://cvs.pfsense.org/~sullrich/testing_images/6/FreeBSD_RELENG_6_3/pfSense_RELENG_1_2/But before you do that i'd check that you plugged the NIC correctly in.
Also is it a 5V or 3.3V card?
Does your mainboard provide the needed voltages?
I had more than one NIC that didnt work because of this reason. -
card that doesn"t work is onboard… the other one is working perfectly. I will try install inofficial version.
Why Puppy linux detects this card?
Any other ideas?
Regards
-
pfSense is not Linux.
Could you post the output of dmesg?

here is dmesg:

this dmesg is from Puppy linux…

There's another thread on this NIC here - it seems that it doesn't work under FreeBSD. According to the Intel specification for the board (see the bottom of page 10), the NIC on the Atom board you mention is a Realtek RTL8102EL, as mentioned in the other thread.
Quite why a Realtek NIC was used beats me, considering that Intel make excellent NICs themselves. It could be that they were very tight for board space; Intel 82572EI would seem a good choice, and it has Gigabit support, but it needs more board space for the device and it needs more external components (there's no version with built in EPROM or Flash memory). Further, it ideally needs PCIe x4, presumably because of the Gigabit speed (the Realtek 10/100 NIC is PCIe x1). The Realtek part has the advantage of being a single chip PCIe MAC/PHY/EPROM device with just 48 leads.
Looking at the code and CVS logs of the rl(4) and, probably more importantly, the re(4) driver, I can't see that this chip is supported under any version of FreeBSD. There's no mention of the RTL8102 series anywhere. I did eventually find the data sheet here, but that gives no programming details whatsoever.
You've posted a Linux dmesg, which shows two Realtek NICs. I can only presume that the other NIC you inserted is another Realtek one - which doesn't help any in identifying what is going on.
Can you confirm that the built in NIC works under Linux, and whether it's eth0 or eth1 in the dmesg you posted.
Can you also post the output of dmesg and pciconf -lv under pfSense or FreeBSD (6.3-RELEASE preferred). pfSense is not Linux based - so whilst knowing that a Linux driver works, that provides no more than a little help to getting this card going under pfSense. I believe there's a lot of commonality between the FreeBSD and NetBSD drivers - if the built in NIC works under NetBSD, that's worth knowing.
We might be lucky, in that it's just a case of adding the card's ID to the re(4) driver. If that's not it, then this probably requires the input of someone familiar with the Realtek drivers in FreeBSD - probably Pyun. Offers of money and/or hardware to the maintainers will likely help your cause.
Realtek NICs aren't brilliant even when they do work - just look at the Hardware board. Why not get hold of a decent dual port NIC and forget about the built in one? I suspect it will get supported sooner or later (these Atom boards are very new) - but it will still only be a Realtek 10/100 NIC. If you only need 10/100 speeds, you may be able to get a suitable Intel based card from eBay for fairly little.
The alternative, if your plug in NIC supports VLANs, is to buy a switch that supports 802.1q tagged VLANs, in which case you only need a single NIC. My belief is that VLANs provide much more flexibility, as well as needing fewer cables and switch ports. You can find inexpensive fanless 802.1q capable switches if you're happy with a 10/100 switch with a couple of Gigabit ports. Netgear FSM726 v2 is one example - though I'm not particularly fond of Netgear switches. If you are going to buy an FSM726, I'd buy new - the old v1 hardware has a couple of very noisy fans!

Thank you David_W for quick reply.
eth0 is onboard card the other one is eth1. They both work under Linux.They are both based on Realtek chipset (other one is Level One FNC-0109tx). I will love to post dmesg from Pfsense or freebsd 6.3, but I cant complete instalation (the computer halts in the middle becouse iI dont have 2 lan cards or ports). I will try installing wlan card.The other alternative is dual port NIC. (I must see if I can put this card in PCI slot, becouse I have very small case)
Regards

You don't need two NICs for FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE - just download and boot the FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE i386 disc 1 ISO. That may be a way ahead to get the dmesg and pciconf -lv output.
You've now confirmed that the built in NIC is detected using the Realtek 8169s/8110s driver in Linux and that that card works in Linux. That may be a start towards a solution here - the information I asked for will help reveal more of the picture.
I can't promise to offer a fix; I have other things to be getting on with, but getting this information together is going to help whoever eventually does fix this.

The Intel vendor ID always amuses me - note that the low word of 'card', the subvendor ID, is 0x8086.
'Chip' is the more important value - the low word is 0x10ec, which is Realtek. The high word is 0x8136 - Realtek 8101E alike. The re(4) driver already has support for the Realtek 8101E.
Looking at if_re.c, I can only surmise that the driver is trying to attach to this NIC expecting a Realtek 8101E, but discovers that it's a different hardware revision to one it expects for the 8101E, so it doesn't attach to the chip. After all, 8102E is not 8101E! Hopefully someone can get hold of the necessary programming documentation to add support for the NIC that is on this Intel board.
I have had a quick glance at the Linux driver, but it didn't help me understand what was happening. I'm not familiar with Linux drivers, and the driver API is somewhat different to FreeBSD.
-
David_W thank you for your reply.
I tried installing Freebsd 7.0 but no luck…
I also searched on Google and I find that a lot of people have problem with this onboard LAN.. but I am new in Freebsd so I can do much to help them... so I must be patient and wait... hopefully this will be resolved quickly.
If I can do something to help....
Regards

Any news on this subject?
-
As others have said, the driver needs to be in FreeBSD before you'll get anywhere. You may find that you need to raise this on the freebsd-net mailing list (and if you really want it to work, you may have to donate a working card/motherboard to a developer).
One thing to keep in mind, new drivers tend to appear in HEAD, which is 8.0. Some may be back-ported to 7.x but few are likely to be back-ported to 6.x.
-
The problem is in network card RTL8102E. I downloaded freebsd drivers from http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=7&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
instaled freebsd 6.2 , compiled if_rl.ko driver, put it /boot/kernel/if_rl.ko and in /boot/defaults/loader.conf change if_rl_load="NO" to "YES"
my dmesg:
rl0: <realtek rtl810xe="" pci-e="" fast="" ethernet="" adapter="">port 0x2000-0x20ff mem 0x50200000-0x50200fff,0x50000000-0x5000ffff irq 11 at device 0.0 on pci1
rl0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
version:1.76 beta1</realtek> -
Does that mean this is working now?
-
In a word - no.
Unfortunately Realtek's driver is forked from an ancient version of if_rl.c - by ancient I mean six years old and on the FreeBSD 4.x branch. There's no straightforward way of porting their changes back to FreeBSD HEAD, 7-STABLE and 6-STABLE, which is the only way these changes are going to make it into FreeBSD proper.
Maybe Realtek have taken objection to the comment in the driver that the 8139 is possibly the worst PCI Ethernet NIC ever made (with one exception). Their version has deleted that comment. To see what I mean, look here, fairly near the top.
Realtek's code updates the PIO based rl(4) driver, not the DMA based re(4) driver, which is where you really want support. Further, the dmesg extract mindziux posted shows that Realtek's driver is under the Giant lock. Both these will hurt performance badly.
Networking drivers that need the Giant lock will not be committed to FreeBSD HEAD; a process is underway at the moment to get the remaining networking drivers out from under the Giant lock. Those drivers that do not get updated will be deleted. See recent posts by Robert Watson to freebsd-stable for more details.
It would have been so much better if Realtek worked with the FreeBSD developers to get their patches incorporated into the operating system, as other vendors do (including Broadcom and Intel for network drivers, and LSI Logic for storage drivers). The ancient code base of their driver means it's reaching the end of the line, as the networking code in 7.x and HEAD is very different to the 4.x base of Realtek's driver.
If you are desperate to get things working, follow mindzuix's steps, but the performance will be suspect at best. I would suggest not using this NIC at all - use an Intel Gigabit NIC in the PCI slot. It's a huge shame that Intel used this cheap Realtek NIC rather than one of their own NICs on this board; the Realtek NIC is just about OK as a desktop NIC, but I believe is a poor choice for a server or firewall NIC.

Hi to all the Atom fan's here who are struggling with their RTL8101E (or is it a RTL8102E) nic.
I received my D945GCLF last week but it wasn't until last weekend that I got to play with it. Unfortunately the amount of play regarding the network capabilities was small. The problems described in the posting before me have plagued me too. Other linux distro's, I have tried SuSe, Ubuntu, Knoppix on the board result in the same non responsive NIC.
lspci -v -n on a SuSe install tells me:

Kernel driver in use: r8169
Kernel modules: r8169It seems SuSe loads another kernel module, with mixed results. 8 out of 10 reboots the nic stay dead. Switching from manual IP to dhcp only results in the dhcp request being backgrounded (and eventually resulting in no IP being received). Not that superb if you'r thinking of using the Atom board as a router/home server. Unfortunately I had to reinstate my old Epia M10K as a router and stuck an Intel 1000GT in the one PCI Slot on the D945GCLF. After that the RTL nic get's properly activated as well (receives an IP through dhcp) and is willing to work. If I removed the Intel nic, I am back at the lottery.
I have emailed RealTek about the problems but so far little good advise (.. update linux driver) or maintaining a dual boot with XP and enable WOL from the windows driver (not an option for a linux only server).
Even though the replies have been rather gloomy I do hope for a driver update with normal support for the 8101/2E so I can eclaim the Gbit nic from the Atom box.
