Same here. I also got just 1 GBit out ouf the 2.5 GBit adapter so I switched to a hasslefree 10 GBit one. Back in time I switched to the beta version wich invoked some more trouble at other points.

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 @[email protected] - just wanna help For me it was the buying decision for a "cheap" NAS that is somewhat future-proofed.

Here they are. tower-diagnostics-20200903-1349.zip Did not matter for me in this case. But in general that might be an issue.

I'm not entirely sure about this: <node id="network" claimed="true" class="network" handle="PCI:0000:08:00.0"> <description>Ethernet interface</description> <product>RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller</product> <vendor>Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.</vendor> <physid>0</physid> <businfo>pci@0000:08:00.0</businfo> <logicalname>eth0</logicalname> <version>04</version> <serial>[REMOVED]</serial> <size units="bit/s">1000000000</size> <capacity>1000000000</capacity> <width units="bits">64</width> <clock units="Hz">33000000</clock> <configuration> <setting id="autonegotiation" value="on" /> <setting id="broadcast" value="yes" /> <setting id="driver" value="r8125" /> <setting id="driverversion" value="9.003.05-NAPI" /> <setting id="duplex" value="full" /> <setting id="latency" value="0" /> <setting id="link" value="yes" /> <setting id="multicast" value="yes" /> <setting id="port" value="twisted pair" /> <setting id="slave" value="yes" /> <setting id="speed" value="1Gbit/s" /> </configuration> <capabilities> <capability id="pm" >Power Management</capability> <capability id="msi" >Message Signalled Interrupts</capability> <capability id="pciexpress" >PCI Express</capability> <capability id="msix" >MSI-X</capability> <capability id="vpd" >Vital Product Data</capability> <capability id="bus_master" >bus mastering</capability> <capability id="cap_list" >PCI capabilities listing</capability> <capability id="ethernet" /> <capability id="physical" >Physical interface</capability> <capability id="tp" >twisted pair</capability> <capability id="10bt" >10Mbit/s</capability> <capability id="10bt-fd" >10Mbit/s (full duplex)</capability> <capability id="100bt" >100Mbit/s</capability> <capability id="100bt-fd" >100Mbit/s (full duplex)</capability> <capability id="1000bt-fd" >1Gbit/s (full duplex)</capability> <capability id="autonegotiation" >Auto-negotiation</capability> </capabilities> <resources> <resource type="irq" value="66" /> <resource type="ioport" value="c000(size=256)" /> <resource type="memory" value="fcc00000-fcc0ffff" /> <resource type="memory" value="fcc10000-fcc13fff" /> </resources> </node> Shuldn't there be a capability like "<capability id="2500bt-fd" >2,5Gbit/s (full duplex)</capability>"? So the support is there but "only" with 1 GBit/s FD?

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

I have a small problem with my UNRAID-Server. I replaced the hardware of the hostsystem. Everything expect the NIC works fine. Mainboard is an Asus TUF GAMING B550-PLUS with a Realtek RTL8125B 2.5Gb Ethernet-NIC. If I boot just with this NIC I get a random private IP. I have deleted from the boot-Partition the network.cfg and edited this file. With an USB-NIC the network works almost fine but seems to stops working after a random time. Any Ideas what to do? I did not find any information on installing drivers. I don't have any further information on Slackware. I think the RTL8125B-Chip is not fully supported at this point and I need another NIC. Can anyone confirm this issue? Or are there any solutions to this problem.
