Moschip MCS9900 fix driver
Closed, WontfixPublicBUG
Actions

Description

Good afternoon
Faced the problem of this device - Moschip MCS9900.
The system sees only 4 ports out of 8. This is due to the work of the driver.
I will attach the readme file from the driver. I'll show you what's written there.

https://www.asix.com.tw/en/product/Interface/PCIe_Bridge/MCS9900
1.In the 99xx.c file, variable "mode" indicates the slave chip serial ports enable or not.

		Choose "CASCADE_MODE" to enable slave chip serial ports.
		Choose "NORMAL_MODE" to disable slave chip serial ports.

I found your devices supported but I need build and check again.

Same in https://forum.vyos.io/t/need-some-help-troubleshooting-nic-detection/11291/15

Try edit kernel config and build 1.4 rolling and test it.

CONFIG_PARPORT=y
CONFIG_PARPORT_PC=m

Thank you very much, I compiled the image, now it remains only to check.
As soon as I check, I will write.

@aztec102 Do you have build kernel again?

aztec102 added a comment.Jul 3 2023, 12:31 PM

@cuongdt1994 I did not build the kernel, I built the image and specified the modules in the file. Which you were talking about earlier.

Wrong, you need build the kernel. If don't build the kernel. It's never work.

Read more here find your device compatible.

aztec102 added a comment.Jul 6 2023, 2:52 AM

@cuongdt1994
I installed Arch linux, there is already a parport_pc in the kernel, the device is perfectly defined.
Why it doesn’t work here, I don’t understand, despite the fact that there is no parport module in lsmod

cuongdt1994 added a comment.Jul 6 2023, 5:12 AM

Right, i found in modules ArchLinux support it.
