August 23, 20223 yr I am trying to add a USB C 3.0 2.5Gbps Ugreen Ethernet Dongle and was hoping it would simply be plug and play. Unfortunately, I'm not that lucky. I get link lights at 2.5gbps from the connected dongle to my 2.5gbps unmanaged switch. Unraid seems to detect that something was plugged in but i don't see it in the webui networking settings section. I have 2 1gbps nics built into my motherboard and those continue to be seen by Unraid just fine. Syslog: Aug 23 10:32:21 TheDarkTower kernel: usb 2-2: new SuperSpeed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd Nothing further about it in dmesg or syslog I'm running Unraid 6.10.3 Any guidance would be much appreciated thedarktower-diagnostics-20220823-1139.zip Edited August 24, 20223 yr by Jeramie Solved

August 25, 20223 yr Author Bonding won't be an issue for me, but thanks for the heads up. The QNAP QNA-UC5G1T arrived this morning and I can confirm it is plug and play woot!
October 15, 20232 yr Hi every body, I have read the thread but i cant find the REALTEK Plugin, does that mean that i would have to get the qnap ethernet usb adapter? tower-diagnostics-20231015-1034.zip

October 25, 20232 yr Adding the drivers did it for me on a fairly modest USB-C to 2.5GB/s adapter (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0CCCWJ9MQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). Installed the Realtek USB drivers, rebooted the server, then went into the Network settings and switched my eth0 for the new adapter and left the "old" gibabit internal one for eth1. One more reboot and everything works like a charm! Pretty nice upgrade for £27 and using a port rarely useful for a headless server anyway (and saving some PCIe lanes that way too)

Can you explain please? Many many thanks!
