Cant switch my 10G nic to eth0

[larrymancer]

When I run ifcong -s it does not look like the 10gb card is even showing up:

root@Tower:~# ifconfig -s
Iface      MTU    RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR    TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg

lo       65536      232      0      0 0           232      0      0      0 LRU

However it does show up as a system device along with the intel 1gb nic that is built into my motherboard.

Am I just missing a driver or how can I setup my NAS to use that 10gb card?

Not sure on the driver you need.

 

These are release notes for 6.9.0

These drivers are omitted:

Highpoint RocketRaid r750 (does not build)

Highpoint RocketRaid rr3740a (does not build)

Tehuti Networks tn40xx (does not build)

If you require one of these drivers, please create a Bug Report and we'll spend some time looking for alternatives.  Better yet, pester the manufacturer of the controller and get them to update their drivers.

lspci  -k will show kernel modules for device

I have the needed drivers is there any way I can upload them to unraid? 

[larrymancer]

Also if its showing us as a device would that not also mean it already has a driver? 

[larrymancer]

This is the exact card model if it helps:

lspci  -k will show kernel modules(driver)

No.  The system is reporting what is connected, that does not mean that Linux has a driver for it or that it will load.

 

Tehuti tn40xx drivers do not build and load with current Linux kernels.

 

From the spec for the card:

Chipset: Tehuti Networks TN4010

 

That is one of the drivers that unRAID 6.9.x does not support because it will not build in Linux.

Thanks that explains why it is fighting me so much. Any 10 gb nic that you would recommend for use with unraid? Thankfully the card I currently have can be returned.

ASUS XG-C100C seems to be used my many.  It's a good one if you want an RJ45 connection.

 

There are also several models of Intel cards x520/x540/x550.  I believe these also use RJ45 connections.

 

There are some Mellanox cards that several in these forums use as well but those use SFP+ fiber cables.

I will give it a shot thanks for the help.
