bonienl Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 You can not install drivers as unRAID unpacks itself fresh in RAM upon system start up. If your driver is missing you may make a feature request, and Limetech will look into it. If it is supported by Linux it usually isn't a problem to get added. 1 Quote Link to comment
Landermark Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 thx for the information I will look into that Quote Link to comment
limetech Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 The driver should already be included in linux kernel. Please post your diagnostics.zip file. Quote Link to comment

Landermark Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 (edited) upgrade to which version I have 6.5 I'm going to upgrade to 6.5.1-rc2 and see if that works Edited March 28, 2018 by Landermark Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 upgrade to which version I have 6.5 Then you posted the wrong diags, those are from v6.1.9, though in hindsight looking at the date looks like you posted some old ones. Quote Link to comment
Landermark Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 ok that's interesting I did grab it after the upgrade let me try it again Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 NIC is detected but no driver loaded, did you try rc2? 06:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Tehuti Networks Ltd.

limetech Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 That device is not supported in the linux tehuti driver. Not sure why, eventually whoever is the maintainer will correct that. But I hope you understand we cannot install vendor-specific drivers into unRAID because it results in huge support issues. Often in the past we have done this, but along comes a kernel release where the old driver source no longer compiles. Now what do we do? If we stay on old kernel we don't get security and bug fixes and feature of new kernel. If we move to new kernel, everyone using the proprietary driver can't upgrade unRAID OS which may have other critical security and bug fixes. Your best approach would be to find out who is the linux maintainer for that driver and ask them to add support. It may be as simple as a one-line change to add the PCI ID of the device, but I have not seen any such patch. Quote Link to comment
limetech Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/TEHUTI.html Maybe I'll just add that PCI ID in next 6.5-rc release and you can let me know if it works? Quote Link to comment
Landermark Posted March 28, 2018 Author Share Posted March 28, 2018 ok I will contact the manufacturer about the driver and see if they can fix the code on it but if you can add it so I can see how well it works for that update that be great Quote Link to comment

Please let me know if this solves the problem for you. Quote Link to comment
Landermark Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 hey I gave it a try and it still won't work sorry this is the up to date file on it tower-diagnostics-20180404-1509.zip Quote Link to comment
Landermark Posted April 4, 2018 Author Share Posted April 4, 2018 so I have gotten in contact with someone at TRENDnet about the drive he told me to email him the information we need to be done and he can send it to the right person to see if he can make the driver fit Quote Link to comment

Nixon506E Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 @Landermark have you gotten any response from the TRENDnet side of things? I have the same chip on my card and I would love to see it merged into the next Linux kernel. I have contacted Tehuti Networks with no replies but was hoping your resource had something to say.

Landermark Posted June 20, 2018 Author Share Posted June 20, 2018 I did get in contact but I did not really get anywhere but I can call in again and see if there is a update Quote Link to comment
