Intel I217LM - 100baseTX <full-duplex>(not working at gigabit)
« on: March 06, 2022, 08:23:01 am »
Any help would be appreciated. What I tried:

Code: [Select]
vi /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf
FreeBSD: { enabled: yes }

pkg update
pkg install intel-em-kmod

vi /boot/loader.conf.local
if_em_updated_load="YES"

Reboot

Still will not connect at 1000baseT <full-duplex>

Code: [Select]
em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        description: LAN
        options=4219b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_MAGIC,VLAN_HWTSO>
        ether 70:4d:7b:x:x:x
        inet x.x.x.x netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast x.x.x.255
        media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
        status: active
        nd6 options=29<PERFORMNUD,IFDISABLED,AUTO_LINKLOCAL>

OPNsense 22.1.2_1-amd64
FreeBSD 13.0-STABLE
OpenSSL 1.1.1m 14 Dec 2021


I did find this post that says not to but compile from source. Wondering if that would help?




edit: hw probe

I did try different cables!

You don't need to build drivers for this network card it works out of the box with FreeBSD and OPNsense.

I have this nic to and never had problems with it:
em2: <Intel(R) I217-LM LPT>

Perhaps a UTP cable problem or hardware failure?

Just one additional troubleshooting thought would be to set the switch port to Gigabit rather than auto negotiate if that's possible.  Let us know if you find a solution.  I have a SFF PC with this card and I'd like to move my OPNsense install to it.
