Installed a cheap PCIe gigabit ethernet card, and that worked fine!

So something with the onboard #ethernet on the #HoneyCombLX2 hardware or driver is broken for #macvtap

At least PCIe works well enough, surely better than #USB dongles!

A thorn in my side for the last few months...

I set up some shiny new virtual machines mostly for #ReproducibleBuilds on a #HoneyCombLX2 packed with 64GB of ram and 16 cores of modest ARM compute power...
only to be stumped on the networking.

The virtual machines were set up to use macvtap via virt-manager in the same way as several other machines... no network.

Today I tried using a USB ethernet adatper. Worked like a charm!

What could cause #macvtap to not work with the onboard #ethernet ?

Despite having 2x @[email protected] #HoneycombLX2 systems that are still in pre-prod, this #ClearFog #LX2162A #arm64 #networking dev system needs to come home with me like, now. 🤩

They just need to offer an m-ITX case + backplate for all those sexy ports, and then it would be perfect.

@justizin Enzotech has a few that should work, although I have not tested their lower profile models. Last weekend I had an idea that the SilverStone SST-NT07-115X could be modded to fit the #HoneyCombLX2 I may pick one up and see how hard it is to mod the mounting plate to work.

@justizin All #HoneyCombLX2 needs is 12V's and PSU_ON to/from the power supply. We don't use 5V or 3.3V rails from the ATX connector.

As some of my other tests have hinted at, the #LX2160a in the #HoneyCombLX2 has reduced memory bandwidth when using threads on the same cluster. Max memory bandwidth is achieved at 1 thread per cluster.

@justizin It uses usb. It is the second micro-usb port on the back of the #HoneyCombLX2
