Isn’t this patch already in openwrt for the BPI-R3 / R4?
Seems not… I didn’t find that.
If I prepare a linux image, can you use that? Btw, I use ArchlinuxArm…
Yes, I can test that. I’m using bpi-r3
Ok, but these days I’m quite busy, but within a couple of days I’ll have one ready. Will let you know here.
I’ve added the patch here:
Add another module, SFP-2.5G-T-R-RM (BPI store) · ericwoud/linux@f259247 (github.com)

Or if you only want the kernel:

linux-bpir64-git-6.7.9.bpi.xxxxxxxxxxx.aarch64.pkg.tar.xz file. It is an archlinux package, but also a simple archive you can extract the linux image and modules from.

Seems working correctly:

Thanks!
Could you try changing advertisement to 1000mbps and lower 0x28 I believe, with ethtool?
Check if interface switching also works…
Well your image didn’t include ethtool… and I’m not sure how to configure to use pppoe to connect to the internet 
Connect wan port to your router.
pacman -Sy ethtool
Where wan is either wan port or eth1, depending which image you used.
cat /etc/systems/network/*.nft

Well, the problem is your image doesn’t include ppp package so that I cannot connect to internet…
You do not need to replace your router. You can cascade the routers.
Connect the wan port of the R3 to a lan port of your active router that uses PPP to connect to the internet.
Image bpir3-sdmmc-rtnosfp.img has wan port as wan, bpir3-sdmmc-rt.img has eth1 sfp port as wan.
It uses DHCP to get an IP from your active router and then the R3 will have internet access. Just like connecting any other client on a lan port
Sadly I have only one router😞 I also tried to create a hotspot using my phone, but it cannot connect to my phone for unknown reason (hostapd already stopped and wlan interface is manually enabled )
One option is to use the fhroot functionality of my buildR64arch build script. On pc/laptop with sdcatd inserted
git clone https://github.com/ericwoud/buildR64arch.git
cd buildR64arch
./build.sh -a
./build.sh
@ericwoud Btw, on some 10gbaset sfp+ module’s fixup implementation, connector type is also corrected, maybe you could also add that to your fixup?
I actually removed it after experiencing trouble with it at some time… On the newer patch set.

Emmm… What happens when you set that to rj45?
I believe this affects validating the connection between phy and mac.
I do set the port to TP in the patch-set, but it needs to be done here:
The patch-set from my stable branch is not the latest. The latest is branch net-next-realtek-phy-v4. I’ll see if I can update it in the rolling-stable branch, when I have some time for it.
…I cannot connect to your ftp server…

I’m just trying it now, it seems to be ok. Maybe my internet provider had trouble, but this doesn’t happen very often.
Edit:
It would seem I have been moved my Ip number
