 Posted: Sun Dec 16, 2018 10:44 pm Post subject: Can't seem to find "atlantic" |
 |
|
I got this device:
| Code: | | 24:00.0 Ethernet controller: Aquantia Corp. AQC107 NBase-T/IEEE 802.3bz Ethernet Controller [AQtion] (rev 02) |
On Ubuntu its driver is "atlantic.ko", and seems to work.
In menuconfig on 4.19.9 I enabled the two Aquantia options I could find but still no in ifconfig -a. Anybody know how to get "atlantic.ko" built?

1) If you execute 'lspci -k' under Ubuntu, you will see the name of the kernel module that is used for your Aquantia Ethernet controller. Which kernel module is used?
2) NET_VENDOR_AQUANTIA does not compile in support for any network card. It just enables selection of aQuantia devices. The right flag to enable is probably CONFIG_AQTION.

lednakashim,
So close.
NET_VENDOR_AQUANTIA is a menu for all the aQuantia devices. So far, it contains only one submenu item.
You need that item.
It was hidden until you selected aQuantia devices.
| before: | │ │ [ ] aQuantia devices │ │
│ │ [ ] ARC devices │ │
|
| after: |
│ │ [*] aQuantia devices │ │
│ │ < > aQuantia AQtion(tm) Support (NEW) │ │
│ │ [ ] ARC devices |
The kernel does a lot of hiding things that cannot be selected.

For completeness: | Code: | | drivers/net/ethernet/aquantia/atlantic/Makefile:30:obj-$(CONFIG_AQTION) += atlantic.o |
From this, we know you need to enable CONFIG_AQTION. The advice above tells you how to do that, once you know the symbol you need. |

I'll give it a shot, seems rather embrasing.
Is there any easier way to enabel specific options comapred to what I'm currently doing. What I'm currently doing is searching menuconfig with the slash, and then manually trying to navigate to the option. |

| I like using menuconfig's numbered jumps. It opens a full-size view to the relevant area, then when you exit that view, you return to the search panel. |

I've yet to find a better alternative.

lednakashim,
Its not embarrassing its a Gentoo learning experience.
It might be embarrassing next time if you do it again.
There is another trick with the / search in menuconfig. It only shows selectable symbols, which in not very useful if the symbol you want is hidden.
Press 'z' on any menu, where 'z' is not a shortcut to make all symbols visible and searchable.
You still can't select hidden symbols but you can jump to them and read the Depends On: in the help to know why they are hidden, then recursively apply the above process.
