[SOLVED] Realtek r8153 USB-RJ45

nings · 2021-01-16 14:14:33

Hello,

Someone have an idea of how to allow this thing to take a dhcp address ?

Kernel : 4.19.0-13-amd64
Driver r8152 version : r8152 4-1:1.0 eth0: v1.09.9 (base driver) and try the latest from Realtek r8152 4-1:1.0 eth0: v2.14.0 (2020/09/24)
Issue : ask an ip address and received one from DHCP with ip but not received by the device or not confirm packet receipt to the DHCP
Only error message found :
DHCPDISCOVER on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 interval 11
send_packet: No such device or address
Failed to send 300 byte long packet over eth0 interface.

USB recognized and driver loaded :
Port 1: Dev 2, If 0, Class=Vendor Specific Class, Driver=r8152, 5000M

usb-devices :
T: Bus=04 Lev=01 Prnt=01 Port=00 Cnt=01 Dev#= 2 Spd=5000 MxCh= 0
D: Ver= 3.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS= 9 #Cfgs= 2
P: Vendor=0bda ProdID=8153 Rev=31.00
S: Manufacturer=Realtek
S: Product=USB 10/100/1000 LAN
S: SerialNumber=001000001
C: #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=a0 MxPwr=288mA
I: If#=0x0 Alt= 0 #EPs= 3 Cls=ff(vend.) Sub=ff Prot=00 Driver=r8152

Interface is there mac address detected too with a 1gb link without issue and received dhcp packet with IP from the dhcp server.
I try to set a fixed ip no communication at all under windows it's work without issue so not an hardware issue.

I need a more recent kernel ?
Or there is a trick ?

Thank you for your help

how are you connecting to the internet?

nings · 2021-01-16 14:32:41

Not really understand your question but it's another computer and I have another network card if needed.
Just want to understand why I can't made this thing work and I have installed firmware-realtek too

it could be a configuration issue?

Probably not dhcp work received the request and send an IP I can catch the packet with tcpdump.
I try to set a static ip but can't ping the gateway. Gateway no received any packet. Default route is good.

ralph.ronnquist · 2021-01-16 14:53:02

Would you mind drop the outputs of two commands:

# ls /sys/class/net
# ip link

That should provide exact information of the link level, and possibly point to where a problem might be.

nings · 2021-01-16 15:16:16

ls /sys/class/net

3s later ask again an ip and server reply again with the ip..

Try the firmware-realtek package from the beowulf-backports repository.

Thank you for idea but not seem work better with backports and even chimaera

Did you check if the firmware was loaded?

# demsg | grep firmware

Can you assign static IP addresses manually? For example

# ip a add 192.168.0.23/24 dev eth0
# ip r add default via 192.168.0.1

Also check your router settings, my old router ran out of DHCP slots after I was running a randomised MAC address on my laptop for a while.

It not try to load any firmware and no "firmware" entry with modinfo r8152
How I can force a firmware ?
Kernel 5.X trying to load "rtl_nic/rtl8153b-2.fw"

Already done but not work

head on a stick made a typo.

as root user,

dmesg | grep firmware

also what does /etc/network/interfaces file look like?

Yes it seems to probably be a module/firmware issue;
perhaps https://www.pcsuggest.com/install-rtl8153-driver-linux/ from 2018 will help you.

I'm not seeing it. # signifies root in a terminal. He just used the symbol instead of the words.

not the symbol, it was "demsg" instead of dmesg.

LOL! May be time for me to get those cataracts removed.

GlennW · 2021-01-17 07:28:06

Make sure you have permission to use the device... someone here may tell us how.

perhaps like this...

lsusb
#Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0bda:8771 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
chown -R glenn:glenn /dev/bus/usb/003/002

PedroReina · 2021-01-17 08:59:42

The r8152 driver has trouble within the 4.19 kernel:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=919656

Sorry for the typo, I have mild dyslexia.

That's not a good idea and anyway it would be reverted at the next boot.

The r8152 driver is included in the stock beowulf kernel so the OP should try applying the quirk mentioned in the bug report linked by PedroReina.

nings · 2021-01-17 11:35:26

auto eth0

I'm with root

I try that now
Thank you

Sorry for this bug but it's very strange. I upgrade my kernel to the latest 5.10 from Chimaera but seem the exact same issue.
Integrated driver load the firmware without issue but same problem
Compiled driver from Realtek website not load firmware but same problem again

When I fix the static ip address tcpdump view the ping query AND ping reply but nothing come back to the console (no error, no ping).
I try the quirk way now may be it's that

nings · 2021-01-18 22:07:48

Sorry but always the same issue even with GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="usbcore.quirks=0bda:8153:k

Now I can have this error in the log with the latest driver from Realtek (2.14) :
r8152: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel (This parameter change nothing in MakeFile : CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=n)

With kernel 5.10 delivered driver no error the firmware is loaded successfully but seem not received/accept ip from the DHCP server.

Something can intercept/block RX packet from a working usb/ethernet device fo reach the kernel ?
tcpdump of this interface show me the packet so the physical device received really the packet just seem not forwarded to the kernel that's possible ?

ralph.ronnquist · 2021-01-18 22:47:20

The DHCP set up is done by a dhcp client program, and not "the kernel". That dhcp program is typically run by a network management subsystem.

Which network managment are you using?

What's the output of pgrep -a dhcp ?

Do you have a firewall set up?

nings · 2021-01-19 00:51:40

Thank you for your help this time the driver and usb/rj45 work fine
Probably the "usbcore.quirks" who solve this issue.

The last error is on my side but not know exactly what is the problem for the moment so sorry.
I try on a third computer same error but finally use another vlan and catch IP directly.
