i219v issue

[jhyang]

Hi bro, I have a new build with ASUS Z270i motherboard, included i219v.

but it can't work on unraid 6.8.1.

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/294753/intel-ethernet-connection-i219-v-not-working-under-linux-on-an-asuspro-b-laptop

unfortunately, I can't use yum, apt, etc. so that I can't make it.

is it possible to be solved?

i219v were common on Intel platform and I haven't problem too. Does mainboard BIOS already update ?

Your provide link have two solution which seems can fix it in hardware level.

1. Write NVM Checksum word using ethtool

2. attempt to boot over the network with UEFI (IPv4)

update my solutions fyi.

1. add "modprobe e1000 eeprom_bad_csum_allow=1" into go file, failed

Problem with e1000: EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid

2. modify i219v to i219-LM via eeupdate, now it works.

hopefully can help someone.

hello, i have the same issue.

 

may i know how to modify i219v to i219-LM via eeupdate ? 

 

thanks

Hi, this is a brief steps

1. need a dos disk. I choose a portable disk with "rufus"

2. copy eeupdate (eg. 5.29.10.5)

3. start from the removable disk

4. key in eeupdate /gui.

5. select i219-v, enter. -> Raw EEPROM - Extended, enter

6. Editing EEPROM, at line 2, edit the fourth and sixth byte (0x0B & 0x0D)

7. backup first. F3-Dump To File

product INTEL I219_LM 0x156f I219-LM Ethernet Connection
product INTEL I219_V 0x1570 I219-V Ethernet Connection
product INTEL I219_LM2 0x15b7 I219-LM Ethernet Connection
product INTEL I219_V2 0x15b8 I219-V Ethernet Connection
product INTEL I219_LM3 0x15b9 I219-LM Ethernet Connection
product INTEL I219_LM7 0x15bb I219-LM Ethernet Connection
product INTEL I219_V7 0x15bc I219-V Ethernet Connection
product INTEL I219_LM6 0x15bd I219-LM Ethernet Connection
product INTEL I219_V6 0x15be I219-V Ethernet Connection
product INTEL I219_V5 0x15d6 I219-V Ethernet Connection
product INTEL I219_LM4 0x15d7 I219-LM Ethernet Connection
product INTEL I219_V4 0x15d8 I219-V Ethernet Connection
product INTEL I219_LM5 0x15e3 I219-LM Ethernet Connection

 

8. I edit both to 0x15b7, then Checksums

9. esc and save. you can do 'eeprom test' to check if it pass.

10. 'Select A device' to see if it is effective.

Thank you very much jhyang for your steps - this was able to fix the NIC on my elderly Asrock H270M-ITX board which I have never been able to use the 2nd NIC in FreeNAS / TrueNAS / Unraid (currently on trial).
