In clear text: at the moment there is no driver available? Is this correct? This might be applicable: I recently send Yong-Hyeon PYUN an Asus P5Q SE motherboard, solely to develop a driver for the Attansic L1 chip that's on the motherboard. After a few weeks he returned to me a driver called ate(4), which supports the Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 NICs. The description I got, as well as the driver: Ok, here is a working driver, ate(4), for Atheros AR8121/AR8113 and AR8114. It passed minimal functional requirement of network driver of FreeBSD but it still needs more test and cleanups. I'm not sure you have hardwares to test ate(4) but if you have it give it a try. Note it seems that the hardware, at least AR8121, has checksum offload bug so I disabled Tx side checksum offload. TSO seems to work though. The Tx performance is 920Mbps or higher but Rx performance is 850~870 Mbps which is lower than Tx. It also requires a lot of CPU cycles to push the hardware to limit but I think it comes from hardware limitation not from ate(4) itself. There is absolutely no guarantee that this is the same exact NIC used on the Asus Eee, but there's a chance. This driver isn't publicly available yet, and I do not feel comfortable sending it to people here without Yong-Hyeon's permission. I've CC'd him so he can put it up on freebsd.org somewhere and let folks test it, assuming it will/does work with the Asus Eee. -- | Jeremy Chadwickjdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

I think it's feature complete state and time for more testing for stability or some edge cases. I guess AR81xx is commonly found on newer Asus EeePC or P5Q series of Asus motherboard. If you have AR81xx controller would you give it spin and let me know how it goes? You can get the latest driver at the following URL. http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/ate/if_ate.c http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/ate/if_atereg.h http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/ate/if_atevar.h http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/ate/Makefile or http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/ate/ate.20081030.tar.gz The driver should build without problems on CURRENT, stable/7. ATM the driver supports the following hardware features. - TSO - Rx TCP/UDP/IP checksum offload - VLAN tag insertion/stripping - Jumbo frame - WOL It seems that hardware supports Tx checksum offload but I couldn't make it work for TCP segments. Only short TCP segments seem to work so I disabled Tx checksum offload. Note, the hardware does not support descriptor based DMA on Rx side so driver have to copy recevied frames to pass them to upper stack so it will consume a lot of CPU cycles if you push the hardware to the limit. As bruffer pointed out the device name chosen conflicts with other driver in tree so I renamed it to ale(4).The URL for the driver is http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/ale/if_ale.c http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/ale/if_alereg.h http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/ale/if_alevar.h http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/ale/Makefile or http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/ale/ale.20081030.tar.gz Sorry for confusion. FYI: There was a typo that keep ale(4) from building on stable/7. It was fixed now and I reuploaded related files(URLs are the same as before). -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon - WBR -- Boris Samorodov (bsam) Research Engineer, http://www.ipt.ru Telephone Internet SP FreeBSD committer, http://www.FreeBSD.org The Power To Serve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

FreeBSD RELENG_7 has support for the L1 and the L2, but I've heard that the L1E doesn't work yet. You should do some searching for a driver, it's possible one of our fine developers is looking for helping testing one they're working on. ;) - mdh ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
