Description

Is there a change that driver for this network card will be in openindiana ?

Updated by Albert Lee about 10 years ago

Masayuki Murayama's atge driver (http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/ ) might support the L1c (it appears to only have been tested against the similar L2c). We'll look at integrating drivers from outside of ON eventually.

Thanks to a review by Masayuki Murayama, I've been successful in adding support for the Atheros AR8131 and AR8132 ethernet interfaces to the illumos atge driver. There's more to do before the code is ready, but this part will be easy to do.

Updated by Gary Mills over 8 years ago

I've attached 32 and 64 bit drivers to this bug report. They go in /kernel/drv/atge and /kernel/drv/amd64/atge, respectively. I've tested the driver with an AR8132 device. Masayuki has tested it with an AR8131 . I'd like to see a bit more testing, though. You need these entries for /etc/driver_aliases . Follow the existing format:

pciex1969,1062 Atheros AR8132 Fast Ethernet
pciex1969,1063 Atheros AR8131 Gigabit Ethernet

The driver also has support for newer AR8151 and AR8152 devices, but I don't have the hardware to test it. Recent Dell laptops likely have these ethernet interfaces. If somebody is able to test it, you will need these entries:
pciex1969,1073 Atheros AR8151 v1.0 Gigabit Ethernet
pciex1969,1083 Atheros AR8151 v2.0 Gigabit Ethernet
pciex1969,2060 Atheros AR8152 v1.1 Fast Ethernet
pciex1969,2062 Atheros AR8152 v2.0 Fast Ethernet

I've attached a more polished version of the driver, in case people want to do some more testing. This might be the final version.

Work fine for me with pciex1969,2062 Atheros AR8152 v2.0 Fast Ethernet on oi151a4 even after coldboot.
Can't wait until changes would land into the tree.

Updated by Andre Breiler over 8 years ago

I can confirm both version of the driver (atge-18.5 and atge-01.6) work on 151a and 151a4 for me (Acer Aspire One 722) with AR8152.

relevant entries from dmesg (on 151a4 with atge-01.6) for reference:

Jun  5 11:28:54 cyan atge: [ID 451854 kern.notice] NOTICE: atge0: PCI-ID pci1969,2062,c1: Atheros AR8152 v2.0 Fast Ethernet

Link state is correct:

Thank you for providing the updated driver (for testing).

Attached is a version of the driver after addressing the recommendations from Garrett D'Amore. This one might be the final one.
