Yes, on all upcoming consumer/prosumer boards there will be more likely 2.5GbE onboard, so the hassle might be at a later point and you don't need to get 10 GbE SPF+ or (more or less reliable) RJ45 with copper and you just dump it into your 10 GbE Router/Switch. Otherwise I don't know the reason because I would get an RTL8125 (2.5GbE Nic) like @coyoung@gmail.com - just wanna help For me it was the buying decision for a "cheap" NAS that is somewhat future-proofed.

Thanks a lot for the fast answer - works like a charm

I did not find any information on installing drivers. I don't have any further information on Slackware. I think the RTL812
