Intel 82576 and FreeNAS 8.3p5

[lungfork]

Hello all,
First time working with FreeNAS. I've installed the OS on my NAS hardware, but I am having a hell of a time getting the network card to work properly. I'm using a SuperMicro motherboard (X8DAH+-F) with the Intel 82576 dual-port Ethernet controller providing the onboard Ethernet ports.

The OS sees the NICs, but cannot locate a driver apparently:

Code:

[root@freenas] ~# dmesg | grep ethernet
pci130: <network, ethernet> at device 0.0 (no driver attached)
pci130: <network, ethernet> at device 0.1 (no driver attached)

I have an Emulex 10GbE network card that is working just fine, but no luck so far with the 1GbE ports.

Any help would be appreciated. So far, I've tried adding the if_igb_load="YES" option to /boot/loader.conf, but no luck there.

Thanks,
Jordan

You appear to have interpreted that correctly. I would expect the driver to be included in FreeNAS without an explicit load but don't know for sure.

Would you be so kind as to go run "pciconf -l" for us? I can see if maybe there's something about your card that is sufficiently different that the driver is not recognizing that it should attach to that hardware.

Are you by chance using an alpha, beta, or Release candidate? I know my machine with an 82576 Intel NIC works fine... quite strange that an Intel card wouldn't be detected properly.

Edit: By the way.. there is no FreeNAS 8.3p5. Could you tell us what version you are actually using? The "System Information" page lists the FreeNAS build. The latest RELEASE version is FreeNAS-8.3.0-RELEASE-p1-x64 (r12825).

Sure thing, here it is:

Sorry, I pulled the p5 from the uname -r output. I am using the RELEASE-p1 version, downloaded on 12/21.

 

[jgreco]

Yeah, the similarity-yet-difference between FreeBSD and FreeNAS numbering is a PITA.

 

[lungfork]

You appear to have interpreted that correctly. I would expect the driver to be included in FreeNAS without an explicit load but don't know for sure.

Would you be so kind as to go run "pciconf -l" for us? I can see if maybe there's something about your card that is sufficiently different that the driver is not recognizing that it should attach to that hardware.

The full output is heldup for moderator approval, but here is portion of the output just for the onboard Ethernet:

That's not making any sense to me.

Usually the Intel parts end in 8086, it's their favorite hardcoded constant.

em1@pci3:4:0: class=0x020000 card=0x10008086 chip=0x101d8086 rev=0x01 hdr=0x00

That's out of a box with a PWLA8494GT, and that's accurately identified by e1000_hw.h as E1000_DEV_ID_82546EB_QUAD_COPPER.

Now I'm looking at the source in if_igb.c and it appears to expect the 0x8086 constant as well, so I guess I'm not shocked that it isn't being seen. But let me ask this, you sure you picked the right lines out of pciconf? I think the class decodes as network but I'm just a bit puzzled.

This isn't an authoritative answer, by the way, just a "waitaminitthatdontlookright".

 

[cyberjock]

My 82576 card has 0x10008086 too... so yeah, something is messed up.

 

[jgreco]

What's the chip identifier? (card is probably less-useful of the two values, at least for Intel) Possibly just 0x10c98086? Could also be 0x10e7, or 0x150a, 18, possibly 0x10ca? Without looking at the data sheet it's hard to prune the possibilities too aggressively.

Guys,
I think you're dealing with a 1d10t error here. It turns out that the Intel chip was working properly, and it was the Emulex card that had no drivers. I looked up the 0x----10df card identifier here, and it is belongs to Emulex, which if you'll recall was the manufacturer of my 10GbE card.

The reason I was confused was because the SuperMicro mobo has three RJ45 ports, but only two of them are for Ethernet, the third is an IPMI port. I was trying to use the first NIC, not realizing that it's the IPMI port.

Thanks for all your help, sorry for troubling you with my confusion. Everything is working as expected now.

[jgreco]

Not a problem. Dumb spam filter, if it had let your earlier post through, it'd have been trivial to see the other interfaces listed there.

 

[cyberjock]

LOL! My system had some random POS NIC card too(notice the 'had'). I totally forgot it was in there. That's hilarious!
