Gigabit Gigabit Ethernet: ICPlus_IP1001 and no driver in CE (lan not working). Can you implement the driver for this lan adapter? bluetooth detects it but does not allow pairing, THANKS. I have the X96 max+ AI review.
Hint: never, never buy any X… device!
By the dtb dump of @Borec1 it was possible to add a option in CoreELEC settings to enable IP1001 support. This option should be become available for sm1_s905x3 devices. Default setting is ‘n/a’ (not assembled). When set to ‘assembled’ gigabit LAN should start to work.
The option is supported since CoreELEC Nightly, 15.12.2021.
Unfortunately I have a similar problem. CoreElec Works OK but the speed of the wired connection is only:
ethtool eth0 | grep -i speed
Speed: 100Mb / s
Is my purchased (X96max+ 4/64) only 100Mb / s?
I used the sm1_s905x3_4g_1gbit.dtb file and the CE starts up correctly but only 100Mb / s …
- DO NOT BUY ANY X… DEVICE
- try tomorrow with new nightly and with IP1001 enabled. Maybe it works
- If still not working send it back
If you got 100mbit right away and there was no problem with DHCP then you have a good revision. And either you bought a 100mbit device or you have the wrong cable or switch.
Yes I know X96max + it was a bad choice
but I will not return it anymore because it’s a waste of time.
On today’s CE: 19.4-Matrix_nightly_20211214
I don’t have the option: IP1001 Ethernet?
Ps. @Borec1 you are right !!!
I was sure about this cable and here is such a surprise.
Fortunately, I had another one and everything is fine now.
Sorry for the confusion
@Portisch thank you for your help
CereElec is great !
I confirm that X96m+ rev. AI with IC+1001M lan is working now as gigabit. Thanks a lot @pocitacnachate, @Borec and @Portisch.
Its Xmas present for a lot of holders of this box.
Great job!
Wow, it’s a great news, now waiting the same fix for nexus nightly
Nobody told me nightlies aren’t build anymore since 20211208
…
Yes, it happens periodically…
Is it possible to backport this solution to CoreELEC 9.2.8? I’m still using this as my daily driver because of compatibility issues of some add-ons (and python 2.7).
No:
Well, it’s not 31 december 2021 yet …
A small backported patch to support this hardware on 9.2.x could still be on the table
Then hurry up and get the PR ready to be merged!
In mean time I will go with my kids buying a Christmas tree.
Thanks for the tip Portisch and enjoy your well deserved quality time with your kids!
I don’t have the skills to merge a PR unfortunately to create a new patched version of CE 9.2.x. Who could help me out please??
Hi,
which CE version are you talking about?
I have the same tv box and I really appreciate your help to make it work.
Thanks.
Already a big thanks for the offer. It would really save my precious setup!
I’m running my X96 Max Plus box on CoreELEC 9.2.8 (Kodi 18).
