#8238 assigned bug

USB ASIX 88772B Low-Power 10/100 Fast Ethernet driver

Reported by: starsseed Owned by: kallisti5
Priority: normal Milestone: R1
Component: Drivers/Network/usb_asix Version: R1/Development
Keywords: ASIX Cc:
Blocked By: Blocking:
Platform: All

Description

I added the 0x0b95:0x7e2b device id to the ASIX driver. It's the Low-Power version of the already supporter 0x0b95:0x7720 "ASIX 88772 10/100" device. (see the patch)

The device is detected, it detects if the link is plugged or not, but it doesn' t seems to send/receive any data ( DHCP or static configuration)

  • Did I do something incorrect ?
  • Is the ASIX driver in a good working state ?

NB : in the screenshot, you can see the driver loaded in the kernel team, but "listusb" does not report the device/manufacturer name.

That is AX88772B but AX88772. Looks like a bit more changes are required to support it. I'll look into it.

The device is detected, it detects if the link is plugged or not, but it doesn' t seems to send/receive any data ( DHCP or static configuration)

It is as perfect as possible. :-D

NB : in the screenshot, you can see the driver loaded in the kernel team, but "listusb" does not report the device/manufacturer name.

Those strings are descriptive and has no affect on driver functions. It is typical situation that they contains emptyness or even some trash.

I have checked the FreeBSD driver for changes required to support AX88772A/B and looks like some time is required to import them into Haiku driver. Do you have this hardware for a long time? Can you wait for some weeks?

But much less work than writing a FreeBSD driver for the Atheros AR9485 adapter... ( my only alternative - apart VirtualBox)

Do you have this hardware for a long time? Can you wait for some weeks?

I own this hardware for 2 weeks. Since the Linux driver is not natively supported yet (I had to compile the driver), I would say that Haiku is not lagging that much !

To make it short : Yes I can wait a bit.

Please try the version I have just attached. It is a good idea to activate private logging by using usb_asix.settings template and show me the log of this test session.

Thank you.

PS: By the way, your still have the version with just added ids? Can you show me the putput of ifconfig command. Was the MAC address obtained correctly???

not sure that your driver work with my "ASIX 88772B" it is loaded by the kernel but it seems it doesn't support the device (see the syslog attachment). Did you add the 88772B's device ID?

I cant find this file. where should-it be and what should-it contain?

PS: By the way, your still have the version with just added ids? Can you show me the output of ifconfig command. Was the MAC address obtained correctly???

the ifconfig comand shows

That was the easiest part of fix.

​http://cgit.haiku-os.org/haiku/tree/src/add-ons/kernel/drivers/network/usb_asix/usb_asix.settings - just drop it into driver settings directory (somewhere at ~/config/settings/kernel/drivers/) rename to usb_asix and change contents appropriately.

I'll look into it today evening.

the syslog was generated with my driver(the one in the trunc + my patch containing the DeviceID)

Please try with new one. The device recognition procedure was improved. Thanks.

comment:14 by starsseed, 12 years ago

this time I can see :

  • the driver loaded
  • the MAC adress retrieved
  • the ethernet link detected
  • a default ip address assigned (@=169.254.0.6, netmask=255.255.0.0)

comment:15 by siarzhuk, 12 years ago

Looks like receiveing doesn'T work with USB error. Unfortunately I have to go away now for two weeks for vacations and cannot help a lot. I have comitted current version - and you can try to tweak it yourself if you want. :-\

comment:16 by korli, 11 years ago

Please check with hrev44805. Tested OK on mine, it works OK.

comment:17 by starsseed, 11 years ago

hrev44805 doesn't help. I still can't receive any data.

JFYI: the datasheet for AX88772B can be goodled by name AX88772B_Datasheet_v104.pdf. My copy is 1120745 bytes big and was received directly from Asix support 4 years ago. It is looking fairly detailed.

comment:20 by kallisti5, 8 years ago

Is this still an issue? The FreeBSD stack has been updated a few times since it was last tested.

comment:21 by korli, 8 years ago

This driver is native.

Replying to kallisti5:

yes it is.

The FreeBSD stack has been updated a few times since it was last tested.

as Korli said, the driver is not based on the FreeBSD stack.

Marking patch as obsolete since it is not enough to get things working and other changes were made since.
