Title: Realtek RTL8153 USB NIC & Intel 8260ac problems
Post by: Daemotrix on February 27, 2019, 09:41:38 PM
I have problems with Realtek RTL8153 USB 3.0 NIC. Inerface working, but only on 10mbit/s speed. I checked usbconfig, I tried everything, what I found on forums, but I'm not able to switch this interface (recgnized as ue0) at least to 100mbit/s (100baseTX). Cable, and router are OK. Also I have problem with m.2 WLAN card Intel 8260AC. I can see in ifconfig wlan0, no carrier, etc... on this card, but I'm unable to configure this card to provide WiFi connection. I need at least make USB NIC working, the best on 1gbit/s. I tried command "media 100baseT or 100baseTX, 1000BaseT full-duplex, ...) many combinations, but everytime commandline said bad parameter or bad value. :( Can you fix that or help me?

On WLAN Name of the interface, block private networks, setting of IPv4 and IPv6, MTU, MAC, as the same as normal wired interface.
On Realtek interface i can't see settings about linkspeed but on internal interface I see that option.
If i select Wireless tab i see card with MAC but if I tick "create" so it shows me error "Error in create in Infrastructure mode BSS. Device wlan0 is not support create more that one clone in selected mode."

So my problem is partially solved by add command below to loader.conf.local
kldload if_ure

Now my NIC working at least 100mbit/s. Network speed meter shows  D:95-98mbit/s U: around 30mbit/s, so upload is slower, 'cause without OPNSense firewall I had speeds D:98/U:95-98mbit/s, but it's better than 10mbit. I don't know why. And about my Intel 8260ac WLAN card, I'm unable to switch it to adhoc, or station mode. CLI says, that IBSS mode is not supported, so maybe driver fault, because I have the same one in my OpenWRT based router and there It works normally.
