Network Card integrated not working in x86 | OpenWrt

rogerio24 · August 18, 2020, 3:09pm

Hi Everyone
I have installed in my old PC this version openwrt-19.07.3-x86-legacy-combined-ext4.img. PCI Network card is working perfect but the integrated Network Card is not working. Could you let me know what package I must install or the way to fix this. Thanks

The first/failed command would be the interesting output.

I can see that there is a 3com (3c59x) and intel (e100/e1000) driver loaded already.

rogerio24 · August 18, 2020, 3:14pm

So? Why is this not working?

anon50098793 · August 18, 2020, 3:16pm

install pciutils or use a full distro

rogerio24 · August 18, 2020, 3:24pm

Thanks for your asnwer. Well Could you tell me where is located the full distro? Apart from that the pciutils where is located to download?
Thanks in advanced

pwned · August 18, 2020, 3:27pm

Beside that missing command I would not expect it will provide more information as I gave here already. And after another look at this I saw r8169 (realtek lan driver) is loaded also.

I cannot imagine OpenWrt is loading them all by its own. Realtek LAN drivers are shit on Linux. Blacklist them. If you try to use Realtek onboard LAN in a stable manner forget it get another pci(-e) card.

mk24 · August 18, 2020, 3:29pm

By full distro they mean boot up a conventional desktop Linux, which includes numerous drivers. Then check the log to see which chip/driver is in use.

If you have another supported card to connect temporarily to the Internet, that makes it easy to install pciutils.

Or you could look at the motherboard and identify the chip.

R8169 is included in builds but it is for gigabit chips, which are unlikely to be on an old 386 class machine.

rogerio24 · August 18, 2020, 3:49pm

Thanks all for your clear answers. You are so quick. I really appreciate this
Well I think that this is this chipset

mk24 · August 18, 2020, 4:04pm

That's an atl2 chip. You need kmod-atl2.

If there is no network working on the machine, mount the disk on another machine and download that kmod .ipk file from the kmods subdirectory of the OpenWrt server where you got the image, and copy it to /root of the OpenWrt rootfs on the drive. Then boot OpenWrt and use opkg to install the file.

rogerio24 · August 18, 2020, 4:08pm

Thanks I have another one card conected via PCI. I will install kmod-atl2. from there. I will let you know the results. Meantime I'm attaching another pic which could be useful

rogerio24 · August 18, 2020, 4:22pm

have installed as you said

root@OpenWrt:~# opkg install kmod-atl2_4.14.180-1_i386_pentium.ipk
Installing kmod-atl2 (4.14.180-1) to root...
Configuring kmod-atl2.

But I just see one port, LAN port realted to PCI card network connected to motherboard

lleachii · August 18, 2020, 4:28pm

Of course, you only installed the driver for one (i.e. the on-board NIC).

rogerio24 · August 18, 2020, 4:31pm

just one port is working. The port related to the network card connected to motherboard via PCI connector. The other one, I mean the network card integrated to motherboard, is no working .

lleachii · August 18, 2020, 4:35pm

I understood that. Did you install the driver for the non-integrated one too?

mk24 · August 18, 2020, 4:44pm

Edit the lan, Go to physical settings and you should find there is eth0 and eth1 now. If you put them both in the lan bridge it is a software Ethernet switch between the two.

Which isn't that exciting. In order to start actually routing you need to create another interface / network which should be named "wan" since the firewall is already set up for it.

rogerio24 · August 18, 2020, 4:51pm

Is not necessary. As I stated in the first message in this topic, It always works perfect.

lleachii · August 18, 2020, 4:53pm

Ummmmm...OK...

You must still set it up in OpenWrt. As @mk24 noted; there should be an eth0 and eth1 to make use of.

rogerio24 · August 18, 2020, 5:15pm

not working
look the video I made

lleachii · August 18, 2020, 5:40pm

Maybe it's a language barrier...I do appreciate the effort in making the video though.

Can you try eth1?
Can you see if eth1 is listed from the ifconfig command?
