February 7, 20188 yr I cannot get my new server on the network with the below PCIE card. Using the internal nic works fine however i would like to use this nic for ALB across the 4 ports. I assume its a driver issue and i see the r8169 driver is loaded however i am not sure thats even the right driver???

February 7, 20188 yr Author Tried to compile the proper drivers.... sadly i am unable to do so. I guess its time to return the nic and do the ol' hope unraid supports my next device that is supported by linux without issue.
February 8, 20188 yr Community Expert The NIC is detected and a driver load for all 4 ports, so the driver is there, if the configuration is correct, i.e. make sure you select the right one as eth0, it might need a more specific driver.
February 8, 20188 yr Author Thanx for the reply jonnie, its the wrong driver that is being loaded (r8169) and unraid doesnt have the correct driver (r8168) built in. I have worked on it for many days, i have finally given up and bough an intel NIC. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002JLKNIW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Heres to hoping it works lol.

February 8, 20188 yr Realtek has a long story of miss and hit with unRAID, Intel is a much safer choice.
February 8, 20188 yr Author Yea i got burned once before with RTL and unraid I should have known better.
February 8, 20188 yr Is the Intel PRO/1000 VT supported by the e1000e driver? I don't think it used to be but maybe it has been incorporated.
February 8, 20188 yr Author Intel PRO/1000 VT is the Intel 82575GB chipset under the hood. The Linux* e1000e driver supports PCI Express Gigabit Network Connections except the 82575, 82576, 82580, and I350. Therefore i assume this card will use the e1000 driver. The e1000.x.x.x.tar.gz supports all PCI and PCI-X Intel® Gigabit Network Adapters/Connections. Bottomline: I will know monday if the card works in unraid. https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/13663/Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-82575-6-82580-I350-and-I210-211-Based-Gigabit-Network-Connections-for-Linux-?product=2469
