 Posted: Sat May 29, 2021 12:29 pm Post subject: [Solved]Intel C260 USB controller should have usb 3.0 |
 |
|
To use my Mac mini (late 2012) as a gateway, I bought a TP-Link UE300 usb network adapter, which support 1000Mbit/s on usb3.0.
1. From https://support.apple.com/kb/sp659?locale=en_US , the Mac mini has four USB3.0 port, but I only got 100Mbit/s speed.
2. From https://support.lenovo.com/za/pt/downloads/ds029189, I confirmed the Intel C216 support USB 3.0
Thanks.

Chili0_,
Your USB controllers are
| Code: | 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI Host Controller (rev 04)
00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 04) |
Only the first one is USB3 capable. Sorting your lsusb output we see
| Code: | Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 004: ID 2357:0601 TP-Link UE300 10/100/1000 LAN (ethernet mode) [Realtek RTL8153] |
The TP-Link UE300 is the only device on USB3, so that's encouraging.
Does your kernel support USB3?
| Code: | $ grep XHCI /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI=y |
both are required but =m is OK too.
USB2 can support 100Mb/sec Ethernet too, so the above are required but not sufficient.
The output of dmesg would be good, on a pastebin. It won't fit into a post.
If the USB end is OK, we need to look at the Ethernet end. It may have negotiated a 100MBbit link.
dmesg will show that too.

In my experience, that TP-Link USB NIC doesn't benefit from USB 3.0. I get effectively the same speed on USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 port. I've only used this NIC in a pinch and it met my short-term needs so I didn't pursue the apparenty shortcoming.

NeddySeagoon, figueroa
Thanks for your time.
I just notice there is only one usb3.0 port , Bus 004.

Yes, I found sometimes TP-Link UE300 NiC drop down to 100Mb/s sometimes 1000Mb/s, not reliable. If I force to set 1000M with ethtool, the network will have problem.
