Title: Chelsio T520 unsupported in 22.1
Post by: dcol on April 15, 2022, 12:30:08 am

Chelsio T520 driver shows as unsupported in tunables. I can manually load driver with 'kldload if_cxgbe' in the shell, but 'if_cxgbe_load' shows unsupported in the tunables. I cannot use the T520 unless I manually load the driver after I boot. Was there a change?

The Chelsio drive must be built in with 22.1 because it works without the tunable after I rebooted twice. I guess we don't need the tunable anymore.

I spoke too soon the driver is not built-in. The T520 does not work unless I manually kldload it.
Is there a place I can insert the kldload command so it starts up automatically? The tunable does not work and is not supported anymore.

I have found that adding the following to /boot/loader.conf works.
if_cxgbe_load="YES"

> but 'if_cxgbe_load' shows unsupported

It shows "unsupported" because it is a magic loader environment variable that isn't documented by sysctl, but it should work as expected. I'm going to change the GUI to not to claim "unsupported" on these.


Cheers,
