Hi All,

I released the RC3 of kernel 5.6 for testing today.

New:

• X5000 and X1000: NETFILTER_XT_MATCH_MULTIPORT. Multiport matching allows you to match TCP or UDP packets based on a series of source or destination ports: normally a rule can only match a single range of ports. For example blocking of ports 20, 21, 22, and 23 with multiport:
  

  Code: Select all

  iptables -t filter -A INPUT -p tcp -m multiport --dport 20,21,22,23 -j DROP
  

  The multiport support is also important for Fail2Ban.
  Fail2Ban is an intrusion prevention software framework (IPS) that protects computer servers from brute-force attacks.
• PowerPC fixes 5.6-3
• dma-mapping fixes

Many thanks for testing the RC4! Great news because of the DPAA Ethernet!

Skateman
Good news indeed. Does uBoot need to be upgraded to get the DPAA ethernet working?

Cheers

Hi All,

I released a new RC4 for testing.

New:

• New dtb file for the X5000/40 with fixes (Fixed getting phy_mode and the assignment of MAC addresses. We can access the DPAA Ethernet interfaces with setting up IP addresses on the X5000/40 but the connection to the network doesn't work.)
• Freescale IOMMU support (CONFIG_FSL_PAMU) for the DPAA Ethernet

Download: linux-image-5.6-rc4-2-X5000.tar.gz



Cheers,
Christian

Is there anything extra I need to install to get ethernet working? My systems shows mac addresses against eth0 and eth1 but I get absolutely nothing for either. I have inserted a wifi module and using that for the time being as i have the onboard ethernet in use on my OS4.1 side. I am currently using your rc4 cyrus.eth.dtb.

cheers

I self nominate for idiot of the week. I was using 5.6-alpha4 and not rc4, well it is 0330 in the morning here. All up and running, brilliant. Thanks for all your combined hard work on getting ethernet working.
