Networking :: Ethernet Intel Gigabit Controller Is Broken Or That Atheros Driver Is Missing?

Apr 21, 2011

I have an ASUS P5Q PRO motherboard with an integrated Atheros AR8121/AR8113 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Adapter.I installed Ubuntu 10.04 "Lucid" 64bit Kernel version 2.6.32.21 I have read that the driver isn't in the kernel, but there's a strange thing :

First if I try to run lspci from command line it doesn't reports Atheros Ethernet Controller.

Second If I try to run lshw -C network from command line it doesn't reports Atheros Ethernet Controller.

Third if I run ifconfig it only returns my loopback address.

Can I suppose that my Ethernet Intel Gigabit Controller is broken or that Atheros driver is missing?

Networking :: Unable To Find Atheros AR8132 PCI-E Ethernet Controller Driver For CentOS / Fix It?

Jun 26, 2011

I am unable to find Atheros AR8132 PCI-E Ethernet Controller driver for CentOS which is installed on my netbook.

I contacted DELL to provide me the driver and they said that they do not support Linux on netbook and I have to arrange it myself.

I told them that I don't need help in installing I just need the driver file to which they said that they don't have driver for Linux.

NIC is getting detected and works fine on the same netbook (Am dual booting Windows7/CentOS) with Windows7

When I type: ls -l /dev/ it does not show up eth0. Same result with ifconfig. When I type lspci | grep net it does show up something like Atheros Communications AR8132 L1 PCI Gigabit .

Ubuntu Networking :: Atheros Gigabit Controller Stuck At 100 Mbps?

Apr 18, 2011

I'm using Ubuntu Server 10.10 64 bit and am trying to get my Atheros AR81xx gigabit ethernet controller to use 1 gbps.I have 2 ethernet controllers, one's a linksys 100 mbps (which is connected to the router which goes to the internet) and the other is the Atheros gigabit controller that is connected to a Windows desktop that has an NVIDIA gigabit ethernet controller (for faster file transfers with a gigabit connection) I've ruled out that the problem is with the desktop as I plugged the windows PC into my macbook (which has a gigabit controller), and both the macbook and desktop report a gigabit connection.

I plug the windows desktop into the server and I only get 100 mbps. I am using a Cat 6 patch cable. I've tried several methods with ethtool to force it into 1 gbps mode, but none work. I've tried using a different cable. no change. I've tried making windows force a 1 gbps connection, didn't have the option to in the driver configuration. Only 10/100 configs. the commands I've tried in ethtool

Code:

ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000

Reports no error, but no effect. I've tried forcing off auto negotiation (I had a hunch it was causing the problem)

Code:

ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 duplex full autoneg off

I get this

Code:

Cannot set new settings: Invalid argument
not setting speed
not setting duplex
not setting autoneg

I tried each setting individually, and autoneg won't set, the others will (but not do anything)

Ubuntu Networking :: Slow File Transfers (FTP, SCP) With Intel Gigabit Or Atheros WLAN?

Nov 16, 2010

I just installed ubuntu as my primary OS, but I have the disk with XP on it and I don't want to go back, but I need faster network connectivity. I have a T60p with Intel Gigabit jacked into my Gigabit router which also has my desktop (running XP) and my NAS. If I FTP files from my NAS (or SCP), I get transfer speeds around 250-500 KB/s (which is not very fast). On this same switch, from my XP desktop I get transfer speeds around 12 MB/s. I get the same speeds using my 802.11n card (Atheros) as with the ethernet NIC (250-500 KB/s).The drivers for the ethernet card and the atheros card are e1000e and ath9k respectively.I have disabled IPv6. Since the problem occurs using either interface, I am just going to concentrate on fixing it for the Ethernet interface (since I believe it to be a systemwide problem).

Code:

skinnersbane@albert:~$ sudo ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full

[code]....

Clearly my card is running at Gigabit, but why the bad transfer speeds? I am using filezilla for FTP (technically FTPES). I closed every other program. My CPU utilization does seem high and I wonder if this is part of the problem. I had no problems with throughput using either interface in Windows XP just one week ago.

Networking :: Ethernet Controller Missing After Reboot?

Jun 12, 2011

I use Linux Mint Debian XFCE and there was a large update (lots of programs) I have done prior to rebooting. After reboot, my computer can now no longer find the ethernet controller anymore in lspci, so my wired connection no longer works.

Is this a hardware issue? The green lights are all blinking fine though.

Ubuntu Networking :: Start The Dc Driver For Ethernet Controller?

Mar 23, 2010

I just installed the latest version of Mint xfce on my old inspiron 8000 with a microsoft MN-120 pci ethernet card, and though the card shows up as hardware, it is not recognized as a network interface. I believe there is no driver loaded for it.

It's an old card, but it seems the kernel still supports it. There are instructions for activating the dc driver that appears to be the proper driver for this chip set, but those instructions originated from freebsd and I'm not sure they translate well. See here:[URL]

I did find a kernel config file, but I was afraid to add the suggested lines to it because there were no other lines specifying "devices". They all started with "config".

Networking :: No Eth0, Driver For Ethernet Controller Issue ?

Jul 3, 2011

i am having issues with networking on a certain liveCD.all ubuntu installs ive done on this machine im sure work fine, but i may have had issues with older backtrack versions.My issue is no networking on boot of SamuraiWTF, for those unfamiliar its based on ubuntu 9.04 There is nothing except lo loopback when i run 'ifconfig', and there is nothing in /etc/network/interfaces for eth0 either.

lspci shows a Broadcom driver, but the same command shows the model number etc on a newer ubuntu install on the same machine. This is:

Broadcom NetLink BCM57780

I have the latest .tar.gz of the tg3 drivers suggested by Broadcom, but im lost on how to install them.

-------------------------------------------------------
EDIT: it seems to be an issue with earlier kernels, i installed 2.6.35 and it worked but the kernel isnt mean for 9.04 i dont think, and now theres issues with the nvidia card

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.4 - "Atheros Communications L1 Gigabit Ethernet (rev B0)" Wasn't Recognized

May 5, 2011

having used SuSE Linux ever since the April 1995 release, I thought installing 11.4 would be a straightforward task. Since it wasn't, I'm summarising here my experience. My PC is built around a 3-year old Asus P5B-plus mainboard, i.e. certainly not brand-new hardware.

1 - on installation, my "Atheros Communications L1 Gigabit Ethernet (rev b0)" wasn't recognized, so I had to "modprobe atl1" from one of the consoles available during installation. That worked but the installer didn't pick up the fact that network was now available.

2 - after completion of the installation, online-updating for the first time and installing the nvidia driver for my "nVidia Corporation G71 [GeForce 7300 GS] (rev a1)" the KDE desktop showed the "blank desktop with mouse pointer" syndrome. Googling yielded that desktop effects had to be disabled in the kwinrc configuration file.

3 - logging in today after an online update, firefox (MozillaFirefox-4.0.1-0.2.2.x86_64) segfaults on start-up while loading the default website (opensuse.org). firefox will run in safemode but it won't run in normal mode, even with all add-ons disabled.

Now I don't have a useable system after a couple of hours of trying. Fortunately, I have a working installation of openSUSE 11.2 but I believe that updates for that distribution will be stopped shortly.

Fedora Hardware :: Intel Gigabit Ethernet(e1000e) Broke On 2.6.35 Kernel / Resolve This?

Nov 8, 2010

Just a heads up to others. There is a kernel regression in the 2.6.35 kernel with regard to, some but not all Intel Gigabit ethernet adapters using the e1000e driver. After an otherwise successful upgrade from fedora 13 to 14, no ethernet connection could be made while using the upgraded 2.6.35 kernel that comes with fedora 14. The 2.6.34 fedora 13 kernels work fine and were fortunately still available after the upgrade.

I have personally seen the identical malfunction on all 2.6.35 kernels I've tried with both Arch and Aptosid and have seen similar reported problems on the Gentoo forum. In each case, going back to a 2.6.34 or upgrading to a 2.6.36 kernel solved the problem so this is almost certainly a kernel issue. My onboard Intel Gigabit ethernet adapter is:

$ lspci -vv | grep Ethernet
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DC Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02)

I believe the intel ICH8 chipset motherboards are the ones primarily effected.

I just bought a new server with one of the most recent v3 Intel processors (socket LGA1150). The board (Supermicro X10SLM-F) uses the new Intel NICs (i217LM + i210AT), not supported by the current Debian stable release. Hence, the ethernet adapter is not recognized during the installation process.

I would like to be able to install something as close to stable as possible in a production server such as this one.

Networking :: Transfer Rate For Gigabit Ethernet

Apr 1, 2010

We have a Linux box which acts a a file server. Currently, files and directories are exported using NFS.At the moment, we are a bit concern on its data transfer performance. FYI, we are using a embedded Gigabit Ethernet port on the file server. We ran a few simple write tests between NFS client (also utilizes GigE port) and the NFS server. In these tests, both NFS server and client are both connected directly to each other with a Cat5E cable. Unfortunately, the write/transfer speed results are not as per our expectation. It scores roughly about 11-12MByte/s, where as theoretically Gigabit Ethernet transfer rate is able to reach up to approximately 120MByte/s.I wouldn't expect to reach the theoretical max transfer rate (it would be great if we can , but I would appreciate if you guys can share with us in terms of the following :

1) What's the practical max data transfer rate which you guys managed to observe in a normal Gigabit based connection? What about jumbo frames configuration?

2) Is there any additional tuning/configuration we need to do within the OS to reach those practical max data transfer rate figure?

3) Does PCI-e / system bus plays a role in achieving this speed? For example, we are using the embedded GigE port and we heard some people says embedded ports are actually sharing the system bus and resources with other devices, which might adds into performance issue. Correct me if I'm wrong.

4) Does converting to Cat6 cabling will guarantee an increase in the data transfer performance?

5) In the future (once we are clear on how much single GigE transfer rate we can go) , we are looking into doing bonding since that the NFS server's shared directory/volume read-write speed is way much higher (i.e 400-600MByte/s). Will bonding allow us to achieve higher NFS read/write speed? What are the bonding modes best used for this purposes? Appreciate if anybody who has experience in doing bonding for NFS can share their experience.

Networking :: Increase Storage Space Of Server With NAS/DAS Device Via Gigabit Ethernet?

Feb 8, 2010

Cost effective (the people want cheap) solution to increase server storage space with as little impact on throughput (what I want) as possible. I have a server that sends instructions to 20 clients to perform certain tasks. The clients send gigs of data back to the server for storage.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Network: Gigabit Ethernet
Clients: (20) HP, Solaris, Linux
Linux Server: Dell R805 PowerEdge (QUAD Core Athlons 16 gigs of ram, 4 gigabit ports.

Selected directories are mounted (NFS) by clients. One directory to be mounted by the clients contains executable files. Mount commands are sent from the server (rsh) to the clients. Yes I know (ssh) but this is how the software was originally written so let's go with it.

The clients then receive commands to execute the binaries contained within the mounted directory. The binaries basically create an image of the clients filesystem including special applications. The client then sends the files and directories to the server which stores this �image�. This process can be reversed to restore a client to the initial baseline image.

In a nut shell, 20 clients are sending gigs of data to the server for storage. I need to attach a NAS (gigabit) to extend the storage capability of the server. The server would mount (NFS) to the hard drives on the NAS. The NAS, configured as a �direct attached storage� device (DAS), means the storage device is connected directly to the server and not the network (which makes it a DAS). This would provide direct storage expansion for the server. However, this configuration cannot be a bottleneck that significantly hinders performance.

Clients <---data---->Server<----storage---->DAS/NAS

1) Will a low end NAS (gigabit port) work? (NetGear 1TB ReadyNAS Duo, RND2110-100NAS) or something with a higher rated throughput (QNAP TS-239 Pro II)

2) Low end won't work, go with �?

3) Does the processor on the NAS play any role that would determine the performance of this configuration given that the server would mount directly to a directory on this device (DAS/NAS)?

Fedora Networking :: Intel Gigabit Card Only Connects At 100Mbps

Ubuntu Networking :: Atheros AR8152 Ethernet In 11.04?

May 2, 2011

I realise there are a few threads of issues with the AR8152 chipset and Ubuntu 11.04, however, my issue does not appear to be the same as others, nor does there appear to be a consistent solution yet. My ethernet worked fine in Ubuntu 10.10, but after upgrading to 11.04, I experience the errors I am about to explain. I also experience these when booting off a Ubuntu 11.04 Live CD, so it's not just the upgrade the caused the issues. The issue is, if I turn on my system without the ethernet cable plugged in, and then plug the ethernet cable in once I've logged into Ubuntu, the system will not detect it, at all. No amount of network manager of dhclient eth0 will get it to function, however, the device itself still appears in the system. If I turn the system on with the ethernet plugged in, however, it will get an IP address and function correctly. I tried to download the drivers from Atheros and build them, but for whatever reason it complained about me not having autoconf.h or automake.h (can't remember which), despite having build-essentials and linux-headers-generic installed.
