im trying to make solarflare sfn7122f (it uses sfc9120 chip) 10g controller to work with my CHR it is detecting it but it doesnt show up on interfaces...i guess unsupported.... i am sending supout for this can you help??
Have you contacted the SolarFlare user forum?
hi, thanks for your asnwersSeems like you are directly forwarding IO to VM, instead of sharing it with CHR from Hypervisor as Virtio interface.
The CHR doesn't have any drivers for hardware, it depends on virtualized interfaces presented by your Hypervisor.
So the problem here is your Hypervisor software is either misconfigured or it doesn't have drivers for it either...
...not true, as I am using IOMMU/vt-d with real, Intel based NICs on my KVM based machines....CHR pics them up just fine.Seems like you are directly forwarding IO to VM, instead of sharing it with CHR from Hypervisor as Virtio interface.

If latest CHR/ROS v7 does not have the native drivers, asking MT support is the best option.its not routeros driver support the problem? what solarflare would do to me? its not the first CHR that i setup, everytime i passthrough the interface to CHR completely fot things to work as it should. my hypervisor sees the adapter before i passthrough to CHR. also my last intel card its configured the same way and its working fine on routeros.
Good to know they are supported now. I must have been unlucky with my NICs being not yet supported before by CHR so I always had to go with virtio... but that was like a year ago....not true, as I am using IOMMU/vt-d with real, Intel based NICs on my KVM based machines....CHR pics them up just fine.
CHR / ROS v7 supports newer NIC models than v6, though.
But overall it's much easier to find a way how to add NIC driver to hypervisor than convincing Mikrotik to have it in ROS itself... especially if it's some more exotic HW.
