AppleIntelE1000e.kext for 10.8/10.7/10.6/10.5

[joshhh]

It's definitely 10.8 issue, I think apple changed something in IONetworking frameworks and this cause such bugs

 

Hope hank can find way to fix it for 10.8

 

Another issue I've seen using the driver in OS X is DNS resolving sometimes failing for Amazon Route 53/AWS sites. Randomly they'll fail to resolve, and manually looking them up in the console has given timeout errors. Example sites to try are dl.dropbox.com and www.dpreview.com

 

Only happens with this kext, and in 10.8. Was fine in 10.7, and using a different network card under 10.8 works fine too. Could be related to the youtube and skype issues?

I hope this one works with 10.8.

just tried on 10.8.1 using built-in 82579. all is fine again.

 

thanks alot hnak

[hnak]

The issue was (probably) that Mac OS X did not check the actual value of UDP checksum once the driver reports the sum is verified - until 10.8.

Intel hardware "complements the payload checksum" ( as written in the original source file) , so it must be undo-ed for the host which re-checks the value for consistency.

I simply disabled hardware UDP checksum and let the OS do it.

thanks alot hnak

 

That's great news. I'm going to try this tomorrow...

 

Thanks a million, hnak!

Hnak...you are simple the best! You solved it man! Now Skype is working again! No problems with youtube as well!

 

I'm reaaaaaally happy now!!! You just helped me to make my build perfect!

 

Every little thing is now working! You made it!!

 

I really would like to hug you know :thumbsup_anim:

[joshhh]

Yeah LAN is working well now! Thank's a lot for it!

Hi hnac etc al,

 

Firstly, thanks for your efforts in maintaining this driver. I bought this NIC hoping for in-built Apple support but that didn't last long!

 

I have an issue with jumbo frames. I've tried a few values, and have the network stable at 4000 byte MTU. 5000, 8192, 9000 all fail. They DO get one or two pings/ping replies, but beyond that connectivity fails completely (small pings fail). Given that I ping at least once successfully, the card is capable of 9000 MTU. Come to think of it, under Windows it works fine (ie, I can confirm the card does actually support jumbo frames).

 

I am running the bundle hnac posted on September 8 (at least I hope I am. Does that report version 2.0.0?)

 

Here are my NIC details:

 

  Type:    Ethernet Controller
 Bus:    PCI
 Vendor ID:    0x8086
 Device ID:    0x10b9
 Subsystem Vendor ID:    0x8086
 Subsystem ID:    0x1083
 Revision ID:    0x0006
 Link Width:    x1
 BSD name:    en0
 Kext name:    AppleIntelE1000e.kext
 Location:    /System/Library/Extensions/AppleIntelE1000e.kext
 Version:    2.0.0

 

hnac, have you made available an XCode project for this? If so I'd be tempted to check out the code myself and do some compiling. Which might end in tears...

 

Thanks

Scott

Just tried it on the MSI Z77A-GD65 with a core i5 3570K running 10.8.1. No joy. The About this Mac System report doesn't show anything in the Networking but a Firewire - doesn't even show the onboard NIC. Strangely enough, on power on and during the first part of the boot I have an orange light on the RJ45 connector. Watching the boot carefully, when AppleIntelE10003 (info): changing MTU from 0 to 1500 appears, the light goes out. No network available. Is there something else I need? Has to be the driver, because PC-BSD Isotope and Ubuntu both give me 2 orange lights indicating Gigabit ethernet.

Project files are available from sourceforge.

I guess the driver fails in hardware initialization.

Are there any messages ? You might have to build the driver from the source and trace/check where it stops.

Not so far as i can see from the verbose boot. Just that one change to the MTU and it passes on to other things. There are messages in the console, however. Here is the enire console boot log if that will help.

The issue was (probably) that Mac OS X did not check the actual value of UDP checksum once the driver reports the sum is verified - until 10.8.

Intel hardware "complements the payload checksum" ( as written in the original source file) , so it must be undo-ed for the host which re-checks the value for consistency.

I simply disabled hardware UDP checksum and let the OS do it.

 

Looking at the driver, it appears that it doesn't actually enable checksum offload in the hardware for UDP traffic (the setting of E1000_TXD_CMD_TCP in the command word doesn't happen). In my testing I see a remote host complain of a bad UDP checksum when the Mac OS X machine is attempting DNS lookups - this affects attempts to lookup 'www.dpreview.com', for example (actually the failure is when following the name chain to an Amazon site).

 

Perhaps 10.8 started using hardware checksum offload for UDP more aggressively, and this is why the problem has just surfaced?

E1000_TXD_CMD_TCP is set in e1000_tx_checksum() if TCP checksum is requested.

The flag is for transmit and TCP, not for receive and UDP, as far as I know.

According to the Intel documentation, that bit is used for both TCP and UDP checksum offload.

 

In my tests the Mac using this driver is producing packets with an invalid UDP checksum. That would fit with a situation where the protocol stack is requesting UDP checksum offload (and so not generating the checksum) but the hardware has not been requested to insert the checksum.

[savestheday]

HNAK - thank you!

 

Are you guys able to sleep/wake with this new kext? I know WoL isn't working (yet - Lnx2Mac announced he's updating his driver and finally releasing source code!) but just does a simple sleep and wake work?

Really ? I just followed the Linux driver's logic (netdev.c), which sets the bit only if the protocol is TCP.

Will you add a line of code to set the flag, build the driver and let me know the result ?

[dme237]

I tried that, it didn't help - a Linux peer is still seeing UDP packets with incorrect checksum. Disabling just UDP checksum offload in the TX side (leaving TCP checksum offload enabled) produces a driver that seems to work just fine (the 'DNS lookup of digiphoto-prod-84399190.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com' test works and Youtube loads videos instantly and correctly shows the thumbnails along the right hand side).

 

So, I think that this is a UDP checksum offload bug, but I'm not sure how to fix it without disabling that offload.

 

As an aside, unloading the E1000 kext seems to work, but then re-loading without rebooting produces an interface that never seems to receive any packets from the wire - is that a known problem?

No. I frequently kextload/kextunload during development.

About UDP checksum, can you do the same test on Linux ?

[dme237]

No. I frequently kextload/kextunload during development.

kext unload/load still doesn't work for me. I'll look into that separately.

 

I grabbed an updated version of the 82567 specification and I think that you're right - that bit should not be set for UDP packets - sorry!

 

Anyway, I rebuilt everything with UDP checksum offload enabled and it all works! I'm somewhat puzzled...

9/11/12 6:16:56.000 PM kernel[0]: AppleIntelE1000e(Info): changing MTU from 0 to 1500

...

In the driver, mtu is set before initialization, as it needs to allocate buffers according to the size.

Then some message about link information should follow, but not found in your log. So I guess that it fails in initialization and terminates itself - that's all I can tell.

I think you are right, the NIC ever gets activated, but I don't know enough to find the problem.

This is what I get at the end of the post -

Waiting for DSMOS...

macx_swapon SUCCESS

Previous shutdown cause :3

DSMOS has arrived

-->> right here is where the link initializes on the X58A-UD7<<--

Warning: IOPlatformPluginUtil: get CPUIDInfo: this is an unknown cpu -- power management may be incomplete or unsupportd

Sound Assertion in AppleHDACodecGeneris at line 350

 

and then it blackscreens and the desktop opens up.

[hnak]

I noticed the Linux driver is updated to 2.1.7.

I have just merged the changes and replaced tx_checksum code with the one from OpenBSD instead of using the Linux code.

[Going Bald]

updated kext is in first post?

Found out where ethernet dies. In the first rebot after installation, right after MSDOS has arrived the bluetooth controller is initialised, I get a warning about the possibly unsupported CPU and powermanagement and the AppleIntelE1000e link is established at 1000Mb/s full duplex Rx/Tx. Both leds on the NIC port are on until I start going through the setup pages. The network page pops up an error and tells me it doesn't seem to be connected to the network. So what happened to it? It shows up in the post as established. Did the network wizard kill it?

Yes, I upload all the drivers in my first post.

I have never seen such a behavior.

I use the Incorporated 2.1.7. on my p8z68v-pro and updated to 10.8.2, nothing changed and youtube still is slow as hell. Than I receive an error saying that the text key isn't installed correctly and that It can't be used by the system. I go to Youtube to see if internet is working, and youtube is how it's normally is! 720p played back almost instantly and no more black pictures. Me happy as I was restarted the pc to check if 10.8.2. fixed the problem.

 

Now youtube is back to it's slower self and I don't get the text key error anymore.

 

Hope my experience can help out the problem.

 

Regards,
