SD card reader problem - Broadcom

firekage · 2019-03-10 22:10:01

Hi.

I would like to ask for your help, again. I have problem with SD CARD that i just now had to use. I found that when i insert SD CARD nothing happens. When i searched internet over and over again i found workaround with removing from modules tg3 driver and enabling it. Only with that i can use SD CARD and when i inser SD CARD it is being found. Unfortunately this does not work across the reboots and i have to remove and insert driver over and over again each time i want to use SD CARD

Could somebody help?

lspci | grep Ethernet
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries NetLink BCM57785 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 10)

I would like to do something in order to have this:

rmmod tg3
modprobe -v tg3

working all the time, across reboots and without need to typing it each time.

Is that the wacko chip where ethernet and sd card reader are integrated and hang on the same interface?
(complete lspci, please)

Try passing "pcie_aspm=off" to the kernel instead.

You could add systemd service to do this after a certain (network?) target or just w/ some leading sleep.

Checking lspci...i think that it is, in fact.

(complete lspci, please)

Ok, lspci output

Ok, will check it.

Could you write more about it? Don't have idea how todo and what to do.

Yes, it is that wacko chip.

Since you've a WiFi chip: do you use the wired ethernet at all?

firekage · 2019-03-11 22:45:23

No, rather wifi only. I've this machine for couple of years, but lately been using it. Earlier i used desktop, now i moved and use mobile unit...and found out this problem...nice, nice discovery about this chip.

I'm not too experienced to write my own unit files. It's too much for me.

Just blacklist the tg3 module.
