Re: [PLUG] New Computer - No Ethernet

2020-12-16 Thread Chuck Hast
I had a similar one to this, I was setting up a NVR on Ubuntu
server. I would put a jump drive in the server and boot off of
it, all of the ethernet ports were visible, But the server install
would not see them. I started looking to see what was missing
ended up going into /etc/netplan/yadayada.yaml whatever name
it gives your .yaml file) and found it was empty I ended up
adding all of the needed bits and pieces and viola! there was
working ethernet ports (I only needed 2 of the 4 on the server
box) after I got the correct drivers in there I still had to add the
port stanzas to the .yaml file.

Alternatively there is a link to the right of that for the official

Did you also install and configured new-er kernel (5.3+) to be able to

I have the rev 05 version of that controller. I have been using the
driver from here
https://github.com/heri16/r8125

Perhaps looking over the pages at
https://forums.centos.org/viewtopic.php?t=75891=319289 or more
specifically 
https://centos.pkgs.org/7/elrepo-x86_64/kmod-r8125-9.003.05-1.el7_8.elrepo.x86_64.rpm.html
will help you get this going as long as you don't mind using a third
party repository on the system.

Update. I got a USB-Ethernet adapter and am at least connected for now. I
really want to  use the onboard NIC if possible. I was able to install
pciutils so I can see things.  lspci shows:
06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8125 2.5GbE
Controller (rev 04)

so at least it is being seen. I find no reference to it in dmesg, but I am
not a dmesg guru, so I don't know if it should show up there.

Re: [PLUG] New Computer - No Ethernet

2020-12-11 Thread Russell Senior
The specs for your board says the on-board NIC is an RTL8125, The
driver was merged into the kernel about a year ago:

commit 087f5b8758ae9f1b1968bc469bb3f5fae53e639b
Author: Heiner Kallweit 
Date:   Fri Aug 9 20:45:14 2019 +0200

net: phy: realtek: add support for the 2.5Gbps PHY in RTL8125

This adds support for the integrated 2.5Gbps PHY in Realtek RTL8125.
Advertisement of 2.5Gbps mode is done via a vendor-specific register.
Same applies to reading NBase-T link partner advertisement.
Unfortunately this 2.5Gbps PHY shares the PHY ID with the integrated
1Gbps PHY's in other Realtek network chips and so far no method is
known to differentiate them. As a workaround use a dedicated fake PHY ID
that is set by the network driver by intercepting the MDIO PHY ID read.

v2:
- Create dedicated PHY driver and use a fake PHY ID that is injected by
  the network driver. Suggested by Andrew Lunn.

First, the computer I had was too old. Now, it is too new. I have to use
CentOS7 for the application I am running, which uses qt4. CentOS8 only has
qt5, which is not backwards compatible. And, so far, everything I have seen
says because CentOS Stream is based on pre-release RHEL, it is not ready
for production use. Looks like I'm getting caught between a rock and a hard
place.

I wanted to see what it said about the nic, so I ran lspci and got "command
not found". I guess I need to install pciutils, which is on the
installation DVD, but I don't know how to install it from that. Only have
the command line at this time.

CentOS 7 is pretty old (predates it by years) for your hardware - you
need kernel 5.3 or newer for this to work properly.

I am not sure if you can get this new kernel from CentOS 7
repositories. If you are used to CentOS - try CentOS stream or Fedora
with newer kernel.

Hope that helps,
Tomas

dmesg might give some clues. You might be missing a firmware for the
NIC. I recall running into that on a server with some weird Broadcom
NICs.

[PLUG] New Computer - No Ethernet

2020-12-11 Thread Michael Barnes
Just got a new computer a friend built. It is using a Biostar B550GTA
Motherboard. I installed CentOS 7 in it, which went well.

Problem is, I cannot get a network connection. I plug in the Ethernet cable
and get a good light on the switch and a blinking yellow light on the jack
in the computer. Cable verified good.

If I do an 'ip a' it only shows io, no eth0. If I run the network utility
nmtui, it does not show any Ethernet devices.

I haven't worked on machines at this level in a few years, so I have likely
forgotten all the obvious stuff. I went into the Motherboard setup and find
nothing regarding enable/disable onboard Ethernet.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Michael
