realtek 8169 second ethernet port failure to init   
Hello Hugh,

I'm running the latest Oct 30 2014 release of Net.rtl8169 and Net.

Photon runs ok and network port 1 runs Ok as well, so far with the TCP/IP stack.

System has a VGA and VDI port, but we are using the VGA port only. We have made BIOS change for only VGA mode.(IGD and 
CRT settings). USB keyboard and mouse works.

However system complaints at initialization before the graphics environment loads, I have traced back to have a minimal 
system running with Net and Net.rtl8169, port 2 (PCI-1) always fails to initialize. System indicates is a RTL8111E-VB-CG
 x 2 gigabit ethernet chipset.

I'm including screenshots of the system. 

Could you help us please, this is a prototype system for production.

Regards,

Jesus Gomez

Re: realtek 8169 second ethernet port failure to init   
Hello Jesus,

If you slay Net and Net.rtl8169, and then run ³Net &² followed by
³Net.rtl8169 -I1 &², does the second interface come up? It is strange that
the tcrval for the second interface is not the same as the first interface.

Thanks, Hugh.

 As you asked, and I also included for -I0 so you can see the differences With -vvv

Thanks again,

Jesus Gomez

Re: realtek 8169 second ethernet port failure to init   
This is really weird! From the pci output that you posted, it appears that
you have 2 identical RTL8169 chips on your system, but they both give
different tcrval outputs. The one is 0x80040002 and the other is
0x2F200000. Do you have more than one of these systems? If so, do they all
give the same result?

Thanks, Hugh.

Re: realtek 8169 second ethernet port failure to init   
Unfortunately I do not have another system. This is my test system before I buy a lot from OEM.

DO you need any other diags.

They tell me, they use the 8111E realtek chipset.

Thanks for your interest, regards

Just found out the Jun 29th, 2009 Net.rtl8169 behaves similarly, only works for Port 1, but not for Port 2.

Thanks,

Re: realtek 8169 second ethernet port failure to init   
The rtl8169 driver hasn¹t been updated in years, so maybe it needs an
update. I don¹t have the time to do it now, but if you want to contact
your QNX sales rep and see if he can schedule something. I would also need
the hardware, so that I could verify the driver.
