[solved]Intel Ethernet Controller I225-V (rev3) doesn't work

Quote

Post by guerro » Mon Dec 20, 2021 9:05 am

Hi all,
this we I bought new Motherboard (MSI Z690-A PRO) with Intel Ethernet Controller I225-V (rev3) as Ethernet Card.
I installed last gentoo-sources kernel available (5.10.76-r1) and selected proper driver.
Driver is loaded, but it seems that REV 3 is not supported again.

Can someone tell me if other (~amd64) kernels support this version or there is another workaround to get run this device?

Thank you in advance

guerro,

Post the output of

Code: Select all

lspci -nnk

and

Code: Select all

ifconfig -a

This need not be from your non-working interface kernel but it may help if it is.

guerro,

It needs

Code: Select all

CONFIG_IGC: Intel(R) Ethernet Controller I225-LM/I225-V support

according to catee.net

Notice that there is no driver loaded.

Code: Select all

04:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller I225-V [8086:15f3] (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] Ethernet Controller I225-V [1462:7d25]
05:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8168] (rev 06)
        Subsystem: TP-LINK Technologies Co., Ltd. TG-3468 Gigabit PCI Express Network Adapter [7470:3468]
        Kernel driver in use: r8169

If you are sure that CONFIG_IGC is =m or =y in your kernel, are you actually running the kernel that belongs to that configuration?
The date and time in

Code: Select all

uname -a

is the build date and time of the running kernel.
Is it what you expect?

I think you are abusing grep. There may be more interesting lines around these two.

My Gentoo installation notes.
Please learn how to denote units correctly!

guerro,

Don't be shy. Put the entire dmesg onto a pastebin site and post the link.
wgetpaste can help.

Maybe "igc" needs a firmware. But it doesnt say which one it needs.

Have you done "emerge linux-firmware" ? If no, do it.
Have you enabled Intel-Module "igc" static into your kernel ? If yes, set is as module <M> (then recompile/install and reboot)

Why I want to have it as Module ? Because then, "igc" is able to load it from /lib/firmware/intel/... during boot
If you have "igc" static into your kernel you must define needed firmware also in your kernel (because then, the firmware must be as blob in the kernel and cant be loaded from /lib/firmware...)

Please check "dmesg" again after rebooting.

guerro,

Code: Select all

emerge wgetpaste

then

Code: Select all

wgetpaste -c 'dmesg'
Your paste can be seen here: http://dpaste.com/3M7A2AXYE

We just need the link.
From your email.

Your kernel is

Code: Select all

5.10.76-gentoo-r1

Root is mounted at
[ 1.979945] EXT4-fs (nvme0n1p4): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: discard

Code: Select all

[    0.953661] Intel(R) 2.5G Ethernet Linux Driver
[    0.953662] Copyright(c) 2018 Intel Corporation.
[    0.953674] igc 0000:04:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[    0.982830] igc: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -2

This happens before root is mounted.

error -2 means that it can't find something.

I don't think in needs firmware but here are some things to try.
Install linux firmware and change CONFIG_ IGC to be a module.
Then it can load firmware if it needs to.
Missing firmware is usually a bit more obvious.

Try a later kernel. The ICG got some updates in 5.15, maybe you need some of those?
Unmask the testing kernel and build that.

In this case - as Neddy said also - try a newer kernel; either 5.10.87 or 5.15.10
and let it (for the moment) as <M> in your kernel config

(this Intel device is ... a children of problems ...)

P.S.: Do you have the newest linux-firmware ? (there was an update before one or two days)

Yes, I got it....

In the next days I'll try the new kernels... ....and hope...

About the firmware I read that REV3 has the last intel firmeware which solves some bugs of REV2 and REV1, so I think that there is no linux firmware for this revision.

"failed with error -2"

means two things: 1. It cant load a firmware (but I didnt found something when I googled + Neddy also thinks it doesnt need some), OR 2. It is a technical defect. If a newer kernel doesnt help, I would go with option 2 ...

Great !
