May 26, 20251 yr so im upgrading my network, and i have my unraid server (yes i need to update it) and it only has an onboard 1G and no slots available, so.... I decided to try a USB Realtek 8157 5GBps NIC in it.ok, so I loaded up the drivers in the app store and stuck what they said at the bottom of the go file ('ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on advertise 0x180000000002f')however it is only connecting at 2.5GBps.I know the switch and the SFP in there will handle 5gig, as i had no problem with my laptop using that same hardware (Arch Linux)I dont think it's advertising 5GBps as an option to the switch based on the below. Anyone have any ideas?ethtool shows this (sorry, formatting is screwed up a bit):Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ MII ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full 2500baseT/Full 5000baseT/Full Supported pause frame use: No Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Supported FEC modes: Not reported Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full 2500baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised FEC modes: Not reported Link partner advertised link modes: 1000baseT/Full 2500baseT/Full 5000baseT/Full Link partner advertised pause frame use: No Link partner advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Link partner advertised FEC modes: Not reported Speed: 2500Mb/s Duplex: Full Auto-negotiation: on Port: MII PHYAD: 32 Transceiver: internal Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: d Current message level: 0x00007fff (32767) drv probe link timer ifdown ifup rx_err tx_err tx_queued intr tx_done rx_status pktdata hw wol Link detected: yes
