Debian11 ST10GSPEXNDP not working

[mlc42]

I´m trying to install the driver under kernel 5.10.0.5.
dkms runs without a problem, but no NIC comes up.
The same with the patched sources from christsich

lscpi -k shows 2 TN9710P tied to kernelmodules tn40xx.

after modprobe dmesg shows

tn40xx: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with errror -22
tn40xx: PHY detected on Port 0 ID=2B09AB - MV88X3310 (A1) 10 Gps 10GBase-T
tn40xx: MV88X3310 initdata applied
tn40xx: MV88X3310 I/D version is 0.2.8.0

Hello... Same issue there. Debian testing + kernel 5.10.0.5.

Edit: After editing file tn40.c - KERNEL_VERSION(5, 4, 0) to KERNEL_VERSION(5, 10, 0) and standard install via make -> make install -> modprobe tn40xx dmesg send result:

root@WS:~# dmesg | tail

After restart, the card works properly.

[mlc42]

i wonder how this changes : KERNEL_VERSION(5, 4, 0) to KERNEL_VERSION(5, 10, 0) could solve that.
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(5, 4, 0) has same result as KERNEL_VERSION(5, 10, 0)

i´ve tried this but no luck. dmesg shows tn40xx: register_netdevice failed
May be there is other magic behind.
Do you have a ST10GSPEXNDP and Debian Buster (or Bullseye). I´v tried all with Bullseye Version because
only with the nonfree version i can get the MSI Onboard NIC running.

I assume you use the startech-patched version from christasich.

[hofkosk]

Sorry for my late answer, but I can't simulate start position. I have installed Bullseye with PEX10000SFP on another SSD and after netinstall with Cinnamon i run for correct boot with AMD RX 6800 XT :

apt install git dkms build-essential module-assistant linux-headers-$(uname -r) nfs-common autofs
mkdir ~/git
cd ~/git
git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
cp -r linux-firmware/amdgpu /lib/firmware
update-initramfs -u -k all
apt install firmware-amd-graphics libgl1-mesa-dri libglx-mesa0 mesa-vulkan-drivers xserver-xorg-video-all
shutdown -r now

and start testing with attached driver

cd /home/drivers/tehuti/
m-a prepare
make
make install
modprobe tn40xx

card not working. After this I try install drivers via acooks - dkms and not working. After this I try only rmmod tn40xx and modprobe tn40xx and card been detected and working and work after restart too. I don't have any idea why... This procedure can help you as well maybe.
5.10.0-5-amd64.tar.gz

[mlc42]

thank you for your answer,

i´ve tried this files but no luck.

I have the same issue with a recent upgrade to Debian11. See the output from dmesg attached.

I've also tried the suggestions above to no avail.

[mikevipe]

I got this working on Debian 11 5.10.0-11, please find my build files attached, I could not get either acooks or christasich version to work out of the box so I just downloaded acooks, and copied christasich's tn40.c, MV88X3310_phy.c, AQR105_phy.c and added x3310fw_0_3_4_0_9445.hdr, ran: make uninstall, make clean, make, make install did a reboot and the device appeared. I am not sure why combining them worked but it did.

Verified that the above build by mikevipe does indeed work on Debian 11 on kernel 5.10.0-11-amd64 . The symptoms with the original driver were that the driver would be loaded with modprobe, but not create any network devices. With the above build, it does.

[rnaheed]

Unfortunately had to back the driver out due to kernel panics (out of memory) two nights in a row. So there may be a memory leak in the 02-14-2022 driver.

This is the output of dmesg for modprobe tn40xx:

I know you are running Ubuntu vs my Debian 11 but have you tried to use the files I linked with kernel 5.10.0 on Ubuntu? It is worth a shot. You can use the mainline kernel installer to install 5.10.0. Or follow the guide at https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2020/12/install-linux-kernel-5-10-ubuntu-linux-mint/

As for running on Debian, I have done this with 4 machines now all with success. On Debian you MUST use the 5.10.0-11 kernel for it to work. All of my routers are running the Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1270 v3 @ 3.50GHz with 32GB ram and I have not yet had a memory leak issue or crash with the version I submitted. This router is doing about 2.3gbps down and 1.73gbps up consistently.

Please let me know if it works with Ubuntu on the 5.10.0 kernel.

Thank you @mikevipe, I'm using Debian too not Ubuntu.
Kernel is: Linux 5.10.0-13-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.106-1 (2022-03-17) x86_64.
