LEAP 15 - Install PCI USB 3.0 CARD

English Hardware
#1

Hi all.

I’ve starded yesterday with OPENSUSE LEAP,after some months in Manjaro LInux (Arch fork), so I’m “baby new” on OS.

After installation the only thing I’ve done is update the system and install the proprietary NVIDIA drivers.

But the point is, I need to install my chinese almost generic USB 3.0 PCI.

But I don’t know how to do it, there is some repo to do the job, some YAST application to manage it?

In case someone ask if the card is working fine, the awser is yes, it use to works under Windows with proprietary drivers and also Linux with Arch.

It might be that it needs firmware that is not installed. If you install it physically in the PC, lspci can identify it, after which you may determine what chip it is based upon, and thus which firmware possibly not yet installed is needed. One of the kernel-firmware-* packages may be all you need.

Can you lend me your eyes to help me understand what to look for? It’s literally my second day at OPENSUSE. Just letting you know I updated the system to 15.4 at the suggestion of another post.

I believe this is the one. I don’t see a firmware package specifically for VIA, but it could be contained in kernel-firmware-network. Is it installed?

rpm -qa | grep mwar

Thats what I got.

Hi
If you add the following kernel option iommu=soft to the boot options via yast2 bootloader does that help.

#7

Not sure what this should do, but It doesn’t work. PCI card still ‘off’ (I don’t find a better word).

#8

Hi
Can you show the output from;


cat /proc/cmdline

Supposedly that card and iommu have some issues…
