New laptop - Install problems

[stanl]

I recently replaced my ThinkPad x220 with a Thinkpad X1 Carbon 6th Gen and am running into problems getting OpenBSD to install and run properly.
My first problem is that I had no internet connection - no wifi or ethernet.
Searching the web on the X220 I found instructions to download iwm firmware and. managed to at least get a wifi connection going.
I would appreciate any help offered with getting an ethernet connection up.

Another issue is that about every other time I boot up I get:

axen0: Read PHY failed

scrolling down the screen about 6 0r 7 times before the boot continues. I'm not even sure what axen0 is or how to address this.

I'm not sure what information would be needed to assist me but any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

It's the first (or only) instance of the axen(4) driver, which supports Ethernet adapters based on the ASIX Electronics AX88179 chipset. Additional information about the driver can be found in the axen(4) man page.

A "PHY" is an Ethernet adapter's physical connector. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_layer

I'm not sure what information would be needed to assist me but any help would be appreciated.

I recommend posting your dmesg(8).

[frcc]

Are you able to get to the command line?
Have you run OpenBsd previoously?

[stanl]

It has been a couple days I've been working on this and as of now I've got
OpenBSD 7.3-currrent running fine with one exception - no ethernet connection.

I read the axen(4) man page as jggimi suggested as well as ifconfig(8) altho
I'm not sure how much I understood.

One thing I did was create the file /etc/hostname.axen0 with the line:
inet autconf

Now ifconfig shows:

axe0: flags=8802<BROADCAST,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
        lladdr e8:80:2e:e7:f3:29
        index 5 priority 0 llprio 3
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex)
        status: active

But em0 still shows:

em0: flags=808843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST,AUTOCONF4> mtu 1500
        lladdr e8:6a:64:45:01:aa
        index 2 priority 0 llprio 3
        media: Ethernet autoselect (none)
        status: no carrier

So I'm not sure what good, if any, that did.

As it now stands I rhink I am resigned to using a wifi only connection without
an ethernet connection.

One last question - could the fact that I am using a vpn have anything to do
with my problem or is that unrelated?

Thanks

So far in this thread, Stan, you have mentioned three Ethernet drivers:

1. axen(4) - ASIX Electronics AX88179 10/100/1Gb USB Ethernet device
2. axe(4) - ASIX Electronics AX88172/AX88178/AX88772 10/100/1Gb USB Ethernet
   device
3. em(4) - Intel PRO/1000 10/100/1Gb Ethernet device

You're going to have to figure out which of these Network Interface Controllers you are using, and then provision the right one.

• Active - cable connected and Ethernet carrier detected
• No carrier - no Ethernet carrier, which could be due to no cable present, disconnected cable, defective cable, etc.

If this isn't enough information for you to resolve your issue yourself, then please post your dmesg(8). I'd recommended that 2 days ago. I also recommend posting the complete output from ifconfig(8).

[stanl]

Thank you for any help you may be able to offer.ifconfig.txt

dmesg.txt

Edit for clarity: Stanl deleted two replies with text attachments and comments. The first part of this reply addressee his comments, the rest of this reply is from review of the attachments.


The attachments have an ASCII linefeed character between each line, which is commonly used for text files on Unix and Unix-like systems. I'll assume you're trying to view them from Windows, which expects an ASCII carriage return and and ASCII linefeed between each line of a text file, a legacy from earlier operating systems on which Windows was based.

If your Windows workstation has the "WordPad" program available, that is an editor which may help you view text files from operating systems that separate lines using only ASCII linefeed characters.

Your new laptop has three Network Interface Controllers (NICs).

1. You have an Intel WiFi NIC attached to the iwm(4) driver.
2. You have an Intel wired Ethernet NIC attached to the em(4) driver.
3. You have an ASIX wired Ethernet NIC attached to the axen(4) driver.

The physical layer for the axen(4) NIC uses a separate driver, rgephy(4). If you look at that driver's man page you will see that this physical layer is from a separate hardware provider, Realtek.

The em(4) NIC and iwm(4) NICs have integrated drivers for their physical layers. The axen(4) NIC is USB-attached, the other two use a PCI bus.

Two of your NICs are provisioned and active:

• Your iwm(4) WiFi NIC is connected to your FiOS access point and is assigned the address 192.168.1.250.
• Your axen(4) wired Ethernet NIC is connected over 1000BaseT Ethernet to the same subnet, at address 192.168.1.252.

You have two physical NICs on the same subnet. As provisioned, this is a network architecture error. You cannot have two NICs attached to the same subnet at the same time. Either provision and connect them one at a time, or, provision a failover trunk(4) as the attaching pseudo-NIC, and assign both wired and WiFi NICs to the trunk. There's an example of provisioning a trunk(4) for WiFi in the FAQ, in the Wireless Networking section: http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq6.html#Wireless

jggimi - I thought I had deleted those attachments as I was trying to send them in-line as I have seen others do but couldn't figure out how.

My problem is that this laptop doesn't have an ethernet port so I have to use a USB to ethernet adapter. I have 2 - one from Apple and one from J5Create. I guess that is why sometimes it is axe0 and sometimes axen0 depending on which one I am trying to get to work.

My knowldege of networking is practically non-existant so while I appreciate your efforts on my behalf I'm not sure what to do with the information.

I am going to try to copy and paste the dmesg and ifconfig.
However, you've given more than I have any right to expect.

For further clarity, I'll repeat the provisioning error I noted above:

You have provisioned two physical NICs on the same local network, at the same time. This is a provisioning error. Please, change your network provisioning. You have several choices:

• Provision and use a single NIC -- one of your two wired Ethernet NICS, or your WiFi NIC. You can manually switch between NICs, with the "up" and "down" ifconfig(8) commands, but only one NIC can be active and operational at a time.
• Provision and use a "pseudo" NIC, by provisioning the trunk(4) driver. This would be the full-time, always connected "device" on your local network, and the only NIC assigned a local IP address. You would provision all of your various hardware NICs -- em(4), axen(4), axe(4), and iwm(4) -- as subsidiary trunk ports under the trunk(4) driver, as outlined in the OpenBSD FAQ. This is the only way that an OpenBSD laptop user can "share" a single IP address for both wired and wireless and switch seamlessly between them, without any network disconnections. Please, see the link in my last reply to learn about provisioning a trunk(4) psuedo NIC for laptops.

There is one last option, which I don't think would be applicable to your situation, and addressing it is entirely outside the scope of this particular forum thread: it is also possible to connect multiple NICs to multiple local networks, one NIC to each network.

I just noticed your comment:

My problem is that this laptop doesn't have an ethernet port...

According to your dmesg, there is an Intel brand wired Ethernet NIC, physically attached to PCI bus #0. Somewhere on that laptop there should be an RJ45 female connector attached to it.

[TronDD]

These are probably too thin for an rj45 port, it uses a special adapter to connect to the onboard ethernet.

[stanl]

I think perhaps that dmesg shows that because at the time I had the ethernet cable plugged into the USB to ethernet adapter plugged into the USB port on the laptop (which I guess is what TronDD was saying).

In any case I feel bad about you taking all this time to help me wth this. I guess I will have to resign my self to a wifi only connection.

[jggimi]

Stan, the Intel NIC is on a PCI bus, it is not USB-connected. Find your owner's manual or contact your laptop vendor. There is an Intel NIC on that motherboard. You might need an adapter or a docking station, but your vendor should know.



If you're ever able to provision both a wired and wireless NIC through a trunk(4), you should be able to remove that "perma-noob" button you've metaphorically pinned to your shirt these past 4 years.

stanl, what did you believe was an advantage of using two interfaces on the same subnetwork?

This is also what I understand. Stan, if you want to use the ethernet on your computer instead of the wifi, you should obtain the following:

I am not a computer person. I am a retired senior citizen who uses his laptop to browse the web, follow a few rss feeds and read and send email.
I know nothing about networks or sub networks. In the past when I installed OpenBSD the install automtically picked up the ethernet port. All I had to do was configure wifi which I did following instructions I found on the web.
I thought all I had to do was buy an USB to ethernet adapter, plug it in and it would work. Obviously I was wrong.

Thank you. I will do so and hope for the best.

The most likely explanation is that the instruction you followed were misleading since you ended up in this broken state. Can you provide the link to these instructions?

Read a bit as well using man "ifconfig". Ifconfig might shed a bit of light on current status of your ethernet (rj45 or usb to ethernet) and your wireless configurations so you may see what is actually attached and recognized by your machine.
