Hello everyone,
I'm currently using DSM 6.1.7 for DS3615xs on a bare metal HP N40L with loader 1.02b, and pretty pleased with it. However, I'd like to keep as current as possible (notably for security reasons) and I'd like to update the loader to 1.03b (or 1.04b if its a better idea).
Since I've tried to read everything of substance on the matter, I believe:
- that the AMD Turion II in the N40L does have the necessary instruction sets to run that loader and DSM 6.2
- that the integrated NIC (BCM5723) is a problem when considering that installation
Is any of these assumptions incorrect ?
I also noticed that in the compatibility file in the OP, the integrated NIC was listed as using the "built-in" tg3 driver (which it indeed uses on my current DSM6.1 setup). This kind of contradicts my second assumption above, so I'm a bit at a loss.
I guess my main question is basically the following: is it possible to install DSM6.2 on my hardware without buying a new NIC ?
Thanks a bunch to everyone involved !
