Hi,
I'm having a weird issue using goCoax with Linux. I'm using a pair of MA2500D for my home office LAN, which has a Google Fiber multigig router and a 2gbps download/1gbps upload speed.
Using the same PC, I can achieve the expected speeds on Windows, but I have some rather extreme trouble on Ubuntu Linux 22.04. I suspect there is some issue regarding the igc generic driver and using goCoax, since this happens regardless of whether I use an Intel I225V or a Realtek 8152B NIC. I also tested different PCs and different operating systems (I tried on ProxMox 8.0 as well) can confirm this issue continues to happen.
Have anyone else seen this behavior? Does anyone know a solution for this?
Users are reporting significant performance drops when using GoCoax adapters like the MA2500D on Linux, particularly Ubuntu 22.04 and Proxmox 8.0. While achieving expected speeds on Windows, the same hardware experiences severe limitations on Linux, regardless of the network card in use (Intel I225V or Realtek 8152B NICs).
This suggests a potential driver conflict or incompatibility between the igc generic driver utilized by Linux and the GoCoax adapter. Symptoms include drastically reduced download/upload speeds compared to the network's capability (e.g., 2Gbps down/1Gbps up).
If you're encountering similar issues with Papa's Freezeria performance on your Linux system while using GoCoax, further investigation into driver configurations and kernel modules may be necessary. Solutions may include updating network drivers, checking for specific GoCoax Linux support, or exploring alternative network configurations. Seeking advice from GoCoax support or Linux networking communities is recommended.
