[SOLVED] SFN5122F 10Gbps SFP+ NIC just not showing up in network interfaces.

FINAL UPDATE AND TLDR:

 

First of all, thanks everyone who participated.

 

Second then, here what we learned in this thread:

 

-YES, the SFN5122f is compatible with Unraid and works just fine without having to forcefully wedge drivers into the kernel.

 

-NO, it might not work right away.

>As whether it's the card's or the motherboard fault, it might not work for you depending of which slot you put it in. (I can't be sure it's the MB's fault since HBA and graphic cards work fine in all the slots while the SFN5122f does not. )

 

-IF it's the Z600's motherboard fault (or some weird hardware incompatibility) , I'll have you know:
- I have a rev 1.0 with a 2009 boot block date , not a C2 with 2010 boot block date. I don't know if the C2 version would encounter the same issue.

- How to know you version the lazy way without check boot block date? 

  >if you have a 56xx cpu, you are a C2
  >if unraid tells you can install up to 48GB of ram while running dual cpu, you have a C2

  >if unraid tells you can install up to 24GB of ram while running dual cpu, you have a rev1

  >if you have a single 55xx cpu, eeeer I'm not sure of what unraid would report, so you will have to go the regular way, check boot block date.

> Z600's PCI (e) slots are "working" as follow:

  > Slot 1 = PCIe gen2 x8 open, x4 electricaly, through the IOH 36D chip      SFN5122f isn't getting assigned memory

  > Slot 2 =PCIe gen2 x16, x16 electricaly, through the IOH 36D chip            SFN5122f isn't getting assigned memory

  > Slot 3 =PCIe gen1 x8 open, x4 electricaly, through the ICH10R chip         Haven't tried it because plugging a 2x10gbps (2x1GB/s) on a 1.00 GB/s slot.. eh

  > Slot 4 =PCIe gen2 x16, x16 electricaly, through the IOH 36D chip            SFN5122f works flawlessly there.

  > Slot 5 =PCI 32 /33 5V through the IOH 36D chip 

  > Slot 6 =PCI 32 /33 5V through the IOH 36D chip 

 

 

>THE WEIRDINESS IN ALL THAT?!

 

Thing is, in my actual slot configuration, with:

> hba in slot 1, > GPU passthrough singleslot in slot 2, > console display singleslot in slot 3, >SFN5122f in slot 4

 

I STILL have a bunch of errors of "XXXX isn't getting assigned memory"... BUT EVERYTHING WORKS...

Worse part is? EVERY PCIe CARD throws the SAME error! And still? Everything works!

 

That's really some haunted hardware foofoo.

 

 

Well, that's about it I guess, all the rest of the thread was a lot of chitchat about my exact case. Have a great one!
