Gigabit usb to ethernet isn't transmitting packets

salam4ik · Apr 26, 2010

Hi guys!
I have problem with my new usb to ethernet adapter. It isn't transmit packages.
First I turned off my wlan0 interface. Then started ue0:

Code:

ifconfig ue0 inet 192.168.2.22 netmask 0xffffff00 media autoselect

I edited route table with new interfce:

Code:

Internet:
Destination        Gateway            Flags    Refs      Use  Netif Expire
default            192.168.2.1        UGS         0       74    ue0
127.0.0.1          link#4             UH          0        0    lo0
192.168.2.0/24     link#5             U           2      733    ue0
192.168.2.22       link#5             UHS         0        0    lo0

But I can't ping any host in my network, but from tcpdump I can see incoming packages. tcpdump log below:

Code:

btw. what usb gigabit adapter have you bought? i am thinking about one as well and want prevent buying unsupported hardware.

salam4ik · Apr 27, 2010

I have bought this one. It is AX88178 chipset.

As can be seen it's sending ICMP echo requests. It's also responding to ARP requests.
What makes you think it's not sending anything?

Did you use the same IP address on your wireless and wired connection? If you did you probably need to clear the ARP caches on your other machines.

SirDice, ping either hang or say: ping: sendto: Host is down.

DutchDaemon · Apr 27, 2010

Run tcpdump on this side, and the other side. Ping from the other side to this side. They're exchanging arp traffic, so they see each other.

SirDice · Apr 27, 2010

It's only sending ICMP echo requests. There are no ICMP echo replies, that's why ping thinks the host is down.

Indeed do as DD says, run another tcpdump on the other end.
Also try to make use of a filter to cut out all the non-interesting stuff like the massive amount of UPnP traffic in your example.
Something like # tcpdump -ni rl0 icmp or arp That should give you only the ICMP and ARP traffic.

So guys I did that. And I have found out any host in my network doesn't receive any packet from this ue0 interface.
First I connected only 2 hosts directly without switch. My ue0 has 192.168.2.22 ip address and another windows 192.168.2.4, netmask is 255.255.255.0. Then I started ping each one. FreeBSD 8.0 machine gets all packets from 192.168.2.4 and answers to them, but windows machine doesn't receive any packet and continuing send arp packets(checked by WinDump). The arp table is empty on windows machine but on FreeBSD it's ok. I am really confused because all devices and cables work well. Even this Gigabit device work well in windows. And there is no any firewalls or antiviruses programs in windows, and this windows machine work well with this FreeBSD through wifi.
Can you suggest to me something?

Yes, file a PR because this does sound like a bug.

I tested it again with 2 FreeBSD 8.0 hosts by direct cable connection but nothing changed. The tcpdump on host, where adapter was not installed, had been continuing send arp packets, but any reply wasn't received. On another host tcpdump showed usual log with recieved and sent packets. So today I sent PR about it. I hope it will be solved soon.
Thank you guys for your help!

Posting to the freebsd-net@ mailing list might help, too.

Gigabit usb to ethernet isn't transmitting packets
