Realtek RTL8156 2.5G USB Ethernet for ROS7?

Tue Jan 25, 2022 8:06 pm

Hi Mikrotik developers,

I'm trying to connect a Realtek 2.5G USB ethernet adapter to my new RB5009UG, but I found that the device cannot be identified as an ethernet interface in the system.
Is Realtek RTL8156 not yet supported in ROS7?

I have 2 2G internet connections and I would like to let my second one have the 2.5G connection in the network.
The USB3 port of the RB5009UG should have enough bandwidth for the 2.5G USB ethernet.

Regards,
Koxle

I second this question. I know that ROS7 is currently based on kernel 5.6.3 and propoer support for rtl8156 has been added in linux kernel 5.14. Can we expect added support for this card? Or next kernel bump will happen when ROS8 arrives?

connect adapter to router, generate supout.rif file and send it to support@mikrotik.com with brief explanation. After that we can add it to RouterOS

Thanks for the reply @antonsb. Currently I am going on vacation, but when I am back within one week, I will generate this file.

I did it in July 11th and they said they will work on it and will be available on some next release, so we have to wait :)

I've seen rtl8153 mentioned in release notes of 7.12beta so I checked it, but still no dice. Since 7.12 is already in rc, we will have to wait to at least 7.13 I guess...

Hi Guys,
I have upgraded my hap Ax3 to 7.12rc4, but it is still not recognized as an Ethernet port.
Did anyone else test it?

As I wrote, we probably should not expect RTL8156 support in 7.12 as only RTL8153 was added. Maybe we will see it in 7.13.

Sorry,
I misread RTL8153 as RTL8156; I realized it after commenting but couldn't delete my comment.
Thank you.

Hello,
Can we expect RTL8156 to be added in foreseable future? I have SUP-121523 and SUP-126539 reported and these two issues combined cause me to use RB5009 in 1Gbe mode even though I pay my ISP each month good chunk of money for 2Gbe connection I cannot use. RB5009 itself was not cheap. But issues I reported during last 6 months remain unresolved and questions raised through both support panel and here on forums remain unanswered (I asked about it in beta release topics of 7.13 or 7.14). It's getting to a point where I am willing to cancel my subscription and/or switch to a different router just because of this issue, because from my perspective, I bought quite premium router + service which is basically unsupported.

I contacted support myself as well for this topic, and Sergejs from the support requested a supout file.
I sent it yesterday.
