RPi4 POE-Plus hat not working in LE11.0.1

In LE 11.0.1 on RPi4 POE-Plus hat fan which is used for cooling is not working.

I've tested same system with Raspbian and it works without a problem.

I've also noticed that in LE there is no kernel module named gpio_fan, which controls fan.

Best regards

Thanks for the report!

gpio-fan was enabled, but pwm-fan (which is needed for the POE hat) was missing.

Could you please test and report back if this build works fine (just copy the tar file to the update share and reboot)? It includes the pwm-fan module

Thanks. It's working.

Hopefully this patch will make it into next release.

Thanks a lot for reporting back!

I'll add the changes to LE 11.0.4 (11.0.3 is already on the way being uploaded to mirror sites), until then just use this image (it's basically LE 11.0.3 plus the POE hat change).

so long,

FYI: the PoE HAT fix is now included in latest LE11 and LE12 nightlies (20230801 and later)
