10G Network Card, Not showing up under networks

[Shad0wWulf]

I stupidly did no research before jumping on eBay to buy the first card I saw :: INTEL NETEFFECT NE020 NETWORK ADAPTER - PCI EXPRESS - E10G81GFSR

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224082550585

 

It shows up in the System Devices tab as a PCI device:

06:00.0 Ethernet controller: NetEffect NE020 10Gb Accelerated Ethernet Adapter (iWARP RNIC) (rev 05)

 

Also the hardware profile:

But its just not showing up in the Network settings at all. I've tried with one of my existing DAC cables, And also the two SFP+ they came with (Finisar FTLX8571D3BCL), Its connected on my switch fine, Tested same fiber cable between two switches and all works so switches support it.

 

If it came with these they should also be supported. So what's the issue, drivers?

 

I have also added the following to, /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg

ixgbe.allow_unsupported_sfp=1 & tried ixgbe.allow_unsupported_sfp=1,1

 

which i found on https://community.ui.com/questions/Can-I-use-Ubiquity-SFP-modules-in-Intel-PCI-cards/917d7de4-4fcc-4d3f-875a-72c222ae2135#answer/0bc32e06-9248-46fe-afd3-0198cb7d74db

 

But I must of done it wrong, as no luck.

 

Has anybody else used the same cards / offer any suggestions. I bought two of them!

Diags might show some clues on the issue.

There's no driver in Unraid for that NIC, you can make a feature request, LT is usually good at adding those, if a compatible one is available.

Oh thanks, I shall see what I can do about requesting it.

Is there something I can do in the meantime, try and install one myself? I'm not technical in this aspect at all.

That won't be easy and not something I can help with, you can make the request here:
