QLogic 4100 NIC not working

[Polako13]

Hi,


We have a problem with the drivers for the Qlogic FastLinQ 41000 Series card. The version 8.42 installed on Proxmox 7.3 does not work with this card:

dmesg sends the following error message:

I tested with CentOS 9 with driver 8.59 it works :

I also tried to compile the drivers available on the Marvell site but it doesn't work either with the same error in dmesg.

Do you have any ideas on how to make this card work?

Thank you !

Hi,

Could you also provide the output of pveversion -v?
Most interesting here is probably the pve-firmware package, as your system seems to only have an older version of the firmware for this card (8.42.2, while on CentOS it is on 8.59). A newer firmware might fix your problem, esp. if it works under CentOS otherwise.

filename: /lib/modules/5.15.74-1-pve/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/qlogic/qed/qed.ko

Seeing this, I'd suggest upgrading to the latest 5.15.84 kernel first and seeing if this fixes it.
Another thing you could try is installing the opt-in 6.1 kernel.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your answer,

At the moment I'm testing with Debian 11.6 on this machine, so I won't be able to provide the pveversion output -v
It's an HPC server with GPUs, I tried to disable the GPUs in the BIOS, when they are disabled I can see the network card. So maybe it's not a driver problem. There must be a problem with the PCIe port management.
I will test anyway with kernel 6.1

Maybe something, maybe not: Try setting explicit mtu1500 (auto mtu1500 does not work!) and reboot the host after every change of any network settings.

I have some HP-branded qlogic 10G NICs, they have still this bug in the firmware and this is the only workaround. Same on FreeBSD.

The problem comes from the HPE BIOS configuration on the server. In order for the NVIDIA graphics cards and the Qlogic FastLinQ 41000 card to work, the Workload Profiles must be set to Virtualization - Max Performance or Virtualization - Power Efficient. By default it is configured with the High Performance Compute profile which causes problems...
