Issue is not seen on VyOS 1.4-rolling-202206130217. Can we please have the newer igc driver backported to an upcoming 1.3 release?

I'm also trying to get this up and running. The latest 5.4 kernel fixes this issue, but other issues remain, like bridging not working.
Instead of backporting the driver, I ended up backporting the lataest 5.10 kernel to the 1.3 branch.

danhusan added a comment.Jun 20 2022, 8:05 AM

Did you then end up with a fully working nic, bridging included?

florin added a comment.Jun 20 2022, 8:40 AM

yes, I had to do a bit of hacking - i.e. use the 1.4 kernel configs and patches, removed the wirguard-modules package, install the backports open-vm-tools version.
I committed those changes in my fork:
https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build/compare/equuleus...fvlaicu:equuleus

One thing that I have omitted is the need for the python-dev package in the equuleus container which is needed to compile the kernel :)

Wow, well done! You don't happen to have an ISO you could share?

@dmbaturin, here are the changes I made: https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build/compare/equuleus...fvlaicu:equuleus
I'm using the 1.4 kernel in 1.3.

I don't think this is something that you can do this with the LTS version since it might break some features - like intel-qat. and with the rolling version, well that's already there! :)

here's a slack thread: https://vyos.slack.com/archives/C01A6CJFW1F/p1655490797154269

pasik added a comment.Sep 29 2022, 11:40 AM

So hmm, is it still the same issue in stock vyos 1.3.2 with i225 nics?

@danhusan and @florin could you guys please test and report with 1.3.2 ? Thanks!

florin added a comment.EditedSep 29 2022, 1:11 PM

@pasik the problem is with the igc driver in the 5.4 kernel, not with vyos.

pasik added a comment.Sep 29 2022, 3:03 PM

Yes, and no updates for the driver in 1.3.2. Ok, thanks!

pasik added a comment.Sep 29 2022, 3:32 PM

It'd be nice to get a newer igc driver version in 1.3 branch though, as there are now multiple good 2.5 GbE based platforms out there..

@pasik you can build your own image: https://github.com/vyos/vyos-build/compare/equuleus...fvlaicu:vyos-build:equuleus-1.3.2
