USB ethernet adapter?

[Steve Williams]

Hi,

My PCEngines APU died and I need to rebuild my router.

I'm throwing together an old desktop, but ultimately I'd like to use a
Raspberry Pi that I bought to play with.

My network configuration needs 2 wired interfaces.  I don't have a switch
that will do vlans, and I don't want to have to configure all of that.

This is only for a 20 Meg (bi directional) connection, so not stressing
things too much.

What would be a good USB to ethernet (RJ45) adapter that is supported by
OpenBSD?

Thanks,
Steve W.

USB Ethernet adapter

[Bogdan Kulbida]

Dear Community,

Please don’t judge that hard, but I’m trying to see if I can set-up a
network gateway with one of the old’ish servers I have here. It was running
OBSD just fine for a looong time but has only one network interface.

It does have few extra USB ports, ta-da...
Anyway, what USB network interface would you recommend that would run
smoothly with the OBSD 6.3?

Much appreciated all your efforts.

Thank you.

Hi.

I have old TP-Link UE300 (USB3.0 GigabitEthernet) and UE330 (USB3.0 
GigabitEthernet + USB3.0 3-port hub).

Both work fine with Openbsd on Raspberry PI 4.

rtl8153 (driver ure)

200-250 mbit/s

Roman

Hi Steve,

this bandwidth will be fine even on a RPI3 (tried here on old link, it was
fine up to 50Mbps without queuing).

I have now a RPI4 4GB and an USB Trendnet usb3 adapter:

rpi4_obsd /bsd: axen0 at uhub0 port 3 configuration 1 interface 0 "ASIX
Elec. Corp. AX88179" rev 3.00/1.00 addr 3
rpi4_obsd /bsd: axen0: AX88179, address xx
rpi4_obsd /bsd: rgephy0 at axen0 phy 3: RTL8169S/8110S/8211 PHY, rev. 5

that despite some messages like this:

rpi4_obsd /bsd: axen0: checksum err (pkt#1)

will do fine. Nowadays the link is 200/80 Mbps and I use queuing fine. For
20Mbps even the usb2 Linksys 100Mbps ethernet will do for you.

att,

matheus

Works for years already, not a single hickup that I know of:

axe0 at uhub0 port 4 configuration 1 interface 0 "ASIX Electronics
AX88772A" rev 2.00/0.01 addr 2

If I enter "AX88772A" at my favourit hardware page I get, e.g.:
"Digitus DN-10050-1, RJ-45, USB-A 2.0"

Another possibility is if you don't need the full link speed, you can
use a managed switch and set up 802.1Q.

Make the ports at both ends trunk ports and multiplex as many Ethernet
segments as you like.

I use this approach with a TS-7670 industrial PC which has only one
100Mbps Ethernet interface to have it route between a DMZ and a
management network, and of course, indirectly two of my OpenBSD-based
virtual machines do this (with the Linux host doing the 802.1Q stuff).

This is a great suggestion. Thanks Stuart. Much appreciated

add support for usb ethernet adapter

[Luiz Gustavo S. Costa]

Hi list,

I created a diff to add support to the adapter listed in the link below:

http://www.luizgustavo.pro.br/~lgcosta/jp1080/

Resume:
udav: vendor 0x0fe6, product: 0x9700

If someone can test it on other platforms.

i386 and amd64 functioning normally

thanks

This is the adapter:
(https://www.amazon.com/Rankie-Network-Adapter-Gigabit-White/dp/B01N3K0N43
It is attached to the monitor, which serves as a USB hub. There is
another USB hub with a hard disk, an SD card, reader, keyboard and
mouse attached to it.

What might cause this? Is there a way to get more details than just "IOERROR"?

Thanks
