https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=289862 Bug ID: 289862 Summary: fwget(8) does not support Realtek Ethernet (RTL8125 2.5GbE, realtek-re-kmod) despite packages being available Product: Base System Version: 15.0-CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: yklaxds@gmail.com The fwget utility currently cannot install firmware or kernel module packages for Realtek Ethernet controllers (e.g. RTL8125 2.5GbE), even though the package net/realtek-re-kmod exists in the FreeBSD package repositories and works correctly when installed manually. When running fwget, the tool can detect Realtek NICs, but it does not offer the option to fetch and install the corresponding realtek-re-kmod package. After examining the FreeBSD source tree, I noticed that support for Realtek PCI devices in fwget is limited to Realtek wireless adapters (usr.sbin/fwget/pci/pci_network_realtek). There is no implementation for Realtek Ethernet devices, so fwget does not map those PCI IDs to the available kernel module package. By manually installing realtek-re-kmod and following the post-install instructions, my two RTL8125 2.5GbE NICs function normally on FreeBSD. This confirms that the package is available and functional, but the lack of Ethernet handling code in fwget prevents users from installing it through the standard mechanism. --------------- re0@pci0:4:0:0: class=0x020000 rev=0x05 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10ec device=0x8125 subvendor=0x10ec subdevice=0x0123 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.' device = 'RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller' class = network subclass = ethernet bar [10] = type I/O Port, range 32, base 0x4000, size 256, enabled bar [18] = type Memory, range 64, base 0x50500000, size 65536, enabled bar [20] = type Memory, range 64, base 0x50510000, size 16384, enabled cap 01[40] = powerspec 3 supports D0 D1 D2 D3 current D0 cap 05[50] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit, vector masks cap 10[70] = PCI-Express 2 endpoint MSI 1 max data 256(256) RO max read 512 link x1(x1) speed 5.0(5.0) ASPM disabled(L0s/L1) ClockPM disabled cap 11[b0] = MSI-X supports 32 messages, enabled Table in map 0x20[0x0], PBA in map 0x20[0x800] cap 03[d0] = VPD ecap 0001[100] = AER 2 0 fatal 0 non-fatal 0 corrected ecap 0002[148] = VC 1 max VC0 ecap 0003[168] = Serial 1 01000000684ce000 ecap 0017[178] = TPH Requester 1 ecap 0018[204] = LTR 1 ecap 001e[20c] = L1 PM Substates 1 ecap 000b[21c] = Vendor [1] ID 0002 Rev 4 Length 256 re1@pci0:5:0:0: class=0x020000 rev=0x05 hdr=0x00 vendor=0x10ec device=0x8125 subvendor=0x10ec subdevice=0x0123 vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.' device = 'RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller' class = network subclass = ethernet bar [10] = type I/O Port, range 32, base 0x3000, size 256, enabled bar [18] = type Memory, range 64, base 0x50400000, size 65536, enabled bar [20] = type Memory, range 64, base 0x50410000, size 16384, enabled cap 01[40] = powerspec 3 supports D0 D1 D2 D3 current D0 cap 05[50] = MSI supports 1 message, 64 bit, vector masks cap 10[70] = PCI-Express 2 endpoint MSI 1 max data 256(256) RO max read 512 link x1(x1) speed 5.0(5.0) ASPM disabled(L0s/L1) ClockPM disabled cap 11[b0] = MSI-X supports 32 messages, enabled Table in map 0x20[0x0], PBA in map 0x20[0x800] cap 03[d0] = VPD ecap 0001[100] = AER 2 0 fatal 0 non-fatal 0 corrected ecap 0002[148] = VC 1 max VC0 ecap 0003[168] = Serial 1 01000000684ce000 ecap 0017[178] = TPH Requester 1 ecap 0018[204] = LTR 1 ecap 001e[20c] = L1 PM Substates 1 ecap 000b[21c] = Vendor [1] ID 0002 Rev 4 Length 256 ---------------- root@ykla:/home/ykla # fwget -v Trying to match device 0x4626 in class video and vendor intel with pci_video_intel Trying to match device 0x2723 in class network and vendor intel with pci_network_intel Trying to match device 0x8125 in class network and vendor realtek with pci_network_realtek Trying to match device 0x8125 in class network and vendor realtek with pci_network_realtek Needed firmware packages: 'gpu-firmware-intel-kmod-alderlake gpu-firmware-intel-kmod-tigerlake wifi-firmware-iwlwifi-kmod-22000' The most recent versions of packages are already installed -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
