February 9, 20215 yr Not sure if this isn't included in 6.9.0-rc2 or not but I tried to install this PCI Express 10GbE NIC and can't find it listed as an ethernet adapter. I did see this in the lspci logs: 04:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Tehuti Networks Ltd. TN9710P 10GBase-T/NBASE-T Ethernet Adapter [1fc9:4027] Subsystem: Tehuti Networks Ltd. Ethernet Adapter [1fc9:3015] Kernel modules: tn40xx Is there something I need to do to enable the NIC? Or does the driver need to be included in the kernel to function?
February 9, 20215 yr Author Sure, thanks! towerd-diagnostics-20210208-1639.zip Edited February 11, 20215 yr by Unraider2020
February 10, 20215 yr There is a driver, but it's crashing and failing to initialize: Feb 8 13:55:57 Towerd kernel: tn40xx: MV88X3310 initdata applied Feb 8 13:55:57 Towerd kernel: tn40xx: MV88X3310 I/D version is 0.3.4.0 Feb 8 13:55:57 Towerd kernel: ------------[ cut here ]------------ Feb 8 13:55:57 Towerd kernel: WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1380 at net/ethtool/common.c:375 ethtool_check_ops+0xe/0x16 .... Feb 8 13:55:57 Towerd kernel: tn40xx: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -22 Can't tell you if it's a driver or NIC problem though.
February 10, 20215 yr Author I tried the NIC in a Windows 10 PC and it seems to work (at least at gigabit speed; I can't test 2.5 / 5 / 10 gbit yet). Could it be the same problem this person was having? According to the last post, there was a driver included in 6.8 that is no longer included in 6.9? Thanks!
February 10, 20215 yr There is a driver in the latest 6.9-rc, but possibly it has issues, you could try v6.8.3 to see if it works.
February 11, 20215 yr Author Thanks, I tried 6.8.3 and it worked, but when I went back to 6.9-rc2 it was also working. The only difference was that I used the top PCIe slot this time instead of the bottom one. Not sure what I learned but appreciate everyone's help!
April 25, 20215 yr Author I think support was dropped again for the latest Unraid 6.9.2? In general, is this the kind of thing that will constantly be iffy (if the device manufacturer doesn't update linux drivers often enough)? Or is there hope that eventually a stable version will carry through for some time?
April 25, 20215 yr 8 hours ago, Unraider2020 said: I think support was dropped again for the latest Unraid 6.9.2? From the release notes: Quote These drivers are omitted: Highpoint RocketRaid r750 (does not build) Highpoint RocketRaid rr3740a (does not build) Tehuti Networks tn40xx (does not build) It's always a possibility when the driver is not included with the kernel, nothing LT can do about it but wait for a newer driver.
December 26, 20214 yr hi Is it possible to use 3rd party drivers like https://github.com/acooks/tn40xx-driver to workaround Marvell failure to support pro series products ?
