Question OpenBSD 5.5 and Realtek 8111G support ?

Hello,

First post here, just a reader usually, hello :-)

I have bought a brandnew shuttle DS437 with a Realtek 8111G double network cards, and downloaded OpenBSD 5.5 amd64 released last May 1. I expected to build a home router/gateway and was very eager to begin.

However, although the network cards are detected as re0 and re1, and that link is detected, no traffic passes : no DHCP, and no reply from the gateway when given a fixed IP address (pinging my own address works however).

Below is the dmesg :
Code:

Also the "ifconfig" shows 100Mbps cards, whereas they are 1Gbps ones.

I am very surprised because the OpenBSD 5.5 changelog says (emphasis is mine) :
Quote:
Add initial RTL8106E and RTL8168G/8111G support to re(4).
Did I do anything wrong ? What could I try to solve this issue ?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Guillaume.

Hello, and welcome!

Nothing jumps out at me in the dmesg that indicates a problem. The re(4) devices do not require externally distributed firmware, which s can cause operational grief when doing a new install -- those need a working NIC or another system in order to obtain firmware to get the NIC requiring external firmware to work.

I have that with an alc(4) NIC, which I understand is due to how the phy is attached. Even so, this should not eliminate your use of the NICs.

I'd like to see the output of ifconfig(8).

Without that, I will attempt to guess: your NICs are assigned device numbers based on the order of hardware discovery, not on which is first/second or top/bottom or left/right. Swapping cables or device numbers of your hostname.* files might resolve the issue.

(Disclaimer: I may not be able to help even with ifconfig output.)

Thank you for your reply

I just did the ifconfig :
Code:
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33144
	priority: 0
	groups: lo
	inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
	inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	lladdr 00:00:00:00:00:00
	priority: 0
	groups: egress
	media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex,rxpause,txpause)
	status: active
	inet 192.168.1.70 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
	inet6 fe80::82ee:73ff:fe83:50ec%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
re1: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	lladdr 80:ee:73:83:50:ec
	priority: 0
	media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
	status: no carrier
enc0: flags=0<>
	priority: 0
	groups: enc
	status: active
pflog0: flags=141<UP,RUNNING,PROMISC> mtu 33144
	priority: 0
	groups: pflog
re0 is the only one connected at the moment (bottom ethernet plug).

In the meantime, I tried with the snapshot from May 1, which is I suppose OpenBSD 5.5 current (never tried something else than the stable/release branch before), and at the network configuration DHCP fails, if I CTRL+C and try various ping, I cannot join the other computer of the LAN. I stopped the test here and rebooted to come back to the installed stable release.

I have a VM running OpenBSD 5.4 (VirtualBox) and I have no issue with, it works fine. It seems driver related ?

Any idea will be welcome I'll try changing orders between the two ethernet adapter as you sugested.

Regards,
Guillaume.

Here's what I see:
  • re0 does not have a valid MAC address assigned. It's 00:00:00:00:00:00, which is incorrect. I'm going to assume the card isn't working properly, even though it has a valid IPv4 address and netmask assigned.
  • re1 has a valid MAC address, but is otherwise disconnected (no carrier) and no address assignments.

Good point for the MAC address, never saw that before.

I assigned a valid MAC address to re0 with "ifconfig", disabled ipv6 on both card, assigned a valid IP address to re1, rebooted and checked the routes and did some tests. Unfortunately I'm still cut from the network.

New ifconfig :
Code:
lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 33144
	priority: 0
	groups: lo
	inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128
	inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x4
	inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000
re0: flags=28843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NOINET6> mtu 1500
	lladdr 80:ee:73:83:50:e0
	priority: 0
	groups: egress
	media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex,rxpause,txpause)
	status: active
	inet 192.168.1.70 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
re1: flags=28843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,NOINET6> mtu 1500
	lladdr 80:ee:73:83:50:ec
	priority: 0
	media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
	status: no carrier
	inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
enc0: flags=0<>
	priority: 0
	groups: enc
	status: active
pflog0: flags=141<UP,RUNNING,PROMISC> mtu 33144
	priority: 0
	groups: pflog

I'm going to guess again. The zeroed MAC address for re0 indicates some sort of low level problem -- hardware or driver. The no carrier for re1 indicates a bad cable, bad connector, or bad hardware at either end of the cable.

Swap cables between NICs. See if the active carrier currently available but unusable by re0 becomes available to re1 when the cables swap.

Sorry if I didn't clearly mentioned it, I did not connect yet the re1 card, that's why it has no active link. When I plug re1 it becomes active, but I still have no network access.

I switched the IP addresses between re0 and re1, and unplugged re0, to plug re1 (ifconfig extract) :
Quote:
re0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 80:ee:73:83:50:e0
priority: 0
media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
status: no carrier
inet 10.0.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.0.0.255
inet6 fe80::82ee:73ff:fe83:50e0%re0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1
re1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
lladdr 80:ee:73:83:50:ec
priority: 0
groups: egress
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex,rxpause,txpause)
status: active
inet 192.168.1.70 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
inet6 fe80::82ee:73ff:fe83:50ec%re1 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
I rebooted, the routes were correct, the default became re1, but it didn't correct the problem.

EDIT : I connected both re0 and re1 at the same time, both becomes active, but still no network, even after a reboot.

The zeroed MAC address is of concern. If it is still zeroed without setting the lladdr manually, plugging in cables isn't going to help the issue with re0. I don't understand why it was zeroed and re1 was not.

That patch or something similar is in your release.
Code:
----------------------------
revision 1.145
date: 2013/10/11 14:00:18;  author: jsg;  state: Exp;  lines: +23 -2
Add initial RTL8106E and RTL8168G/8111G support.
An earlier version didn't seem to work on a machine bmercer@
had access to a few months ago but this seems to work
with the onboard Ethernet in an ASUS Z87 board RD Thrush has.
----------------------------
You might make a formal report to the bugs@ mailing list, or an informal report to the misc@ mailing list. Either way, do include both your dmesg and your ifconfig output. If you refer to two NICs, please include that only one is connected but neither work.

I would use your -current snapshot rather than 5.5-release for your report. If you receive a patch to test, you won't be easily able to apply it without a functioning network. We can help you remotely, by building a kernel for you (if you trust us) to copy/paste to a USB stick and then copy to your root directory for testing.

Thank you very much for your assistance! I will follow your advice and install the current version, then submit a bug report in either mailing list, probably in "misc" as I am not an OpenBSD veteran with experience, who can tell/affirm it is a bug (even if it definitely seems to be).

I will keep your informed

Regards,
Guillaume.

OMG ! Installing OpenBSD 5.5 amd64 current makes my network working ! I guess my test of starting to install the 'current', stop it and try to do some ping was not a good test.

I am now doing some real testing, I will connect both cards, make a gateway with NAT will confirm you it is indeed working or not. I'll make another post tomorrow with more details of my various tests :-)

Thank you so much for your help ;-)

Regards,
Guillaume.

Well, that was already indicated with dmesg :
Code:
re0 at pci2 dev 0 function 0 "Realtek 8168" rev 0x0c: RTL8168G/8111G (0x4c00), msi, address 00:00:00:00:00:00

Good point !

Thanks, LeFretchen. I'd missed the MAC in the dmesg.

With a snapshot, you are running -current. It is a development branch that constantly changes. You may stay with the snapshot you have or upgrade from snapshot to snapshot from this point forward. There is no downgrade to -release from -current. However, where you are now can be upgraded to 5.6-release in November.

See FAQ 5.1 for a discussion of the flavors of OpenBSD and a description of the development cycle.

There are "snapshot packages" available for convenience, but they are never exactly in-sync with snapshots. There may be times you must wait for a refresh of those packages or a refresh of snapshots, in order to upgrade or install those packages. Otherwise, you must take the path of building from ports. The OS and all third party software must be kept in sync, per FAQ 15.4.1.

I was able to build the two packages I needed, thanks.

The box is now a nice working gateway for my LAN (NAT/PF), serving encrypted DNS cache (named/dnsproxy), DHCP, VPN. I couldn't have even started without your help, I am very grateful for that, thank you very much

I guess now I have to be very careful about modifyng anything, having a current flavor installed.

Regards,
Guillaume.
