Bryans50 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hello people! My question is why unraid doesn't include the drivers for the newest Dell integrated network cards. I just bought a brand new Dell T640 and tried to install unraid. Unfortunately i'm not in for any luck on the network side. Probably it's an driver issue because "lspci" does show the two cards inside my system. But they don't show as network interfaces on the unraid webinterface. I tried windows with the driver and it just works perfectly. I tried adding the linux drivers from dell but that didn't work for me. Maybe there is somebody that can help met with this problem. Maybe it's the wrong topic for this sub but i'm pointing it out anyways. Anyhow, Please please add driver support for the new Broadcom BCM57416 NetXtreme-E 10Gb RDMA Ethernet Controller network card from Dell. Cheers! Quote Link to comment
Dazog Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/BNXT.html It says since 4.4 it's in kernel. I would wait to try next unraid 6.6 with latest 4.17 kernel. Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Next time please use the forum instead of pm, but yeah the NICs are detected and no driver is loaded, if there's an available driver in the kernel LT are usually quick to add it and it should be on the next release. Quote Link to comment

Ah alright! thanks I'll wait for the next release. Is there any way I can add the drivers myself? Quote Link to comment

UserNo9 Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 I'm planning on using a Dell T640 server. Has there been any progress on a driver for the internal network adapter? Currently as of, 09/17/2018 the OS version of unRaid is 6.5.3. Would a workaround be to install a separate network adapter card that has a kernel driver? I chose this server because it can house (18) 3.5 HDD's. 1 Quote Link to comment
limetech Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Those drivers have been included for a while now. You can try latest 6.6.0-rc. If no luck, we cannot do anything without diagnostics.zip because we need to see PCI ID's to see if they are actually in the source. This site referenced by @Dazog says they should be, and looking at kernel 'menuconfig' we have all Broadcom device support turned on (and have for quite a while now), and specifically NetXtreme II 10Gb is included. 1 Quote Link to comment
JPDom1 Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Hi all, Resurrecting this post from almost a year ago 😊. I just purchased a Dell Broadcom 57810 10GB duel nic and in the same situation as above. Below you can see my NetXtreme II BCM57810 in IOMMU Group 10 and my onboard duel 1GB nic's in group 13 & 14. So UNraid can see the new card. Problem is they just keep showing up as interface down Eth0 & 1 is set to the new 10GB card Eth 2 & 3 is set to the onboard 1GB card My log is currently being flooded with this. BNX2x is my 1 10GB port Attached is my diagnostics please help 😜 mufasa-diagnostics-20190629-2306.zip Quote Link to comment
leeknight1981 Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Hi Guys i cant seem to find a definitive answer will the Dell 165T0 Broadcom 57800S Quad Port Network Card work with UnRAID? OR would the Mellanox MNPA19-XTR be a better choice? Ideally id like an on board card TIA L33 Quote Link to comment
aris Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Is there any update on the Dell Broadcom 57810 10GB duel nic Unraid support? I am thinking to buy Dell PowerEdge T640 with Unraid. Quote Link to comment
JPDom1 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 @aris, No one ever replied to me on it so just sold it and got another brand. Good luck. Quote Link to comment
aris Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Thanks @JPDom1. Which card did you bought and use? Is it Mellanox MNPA19-XTR? Quote Link to comment
