@RacerX, thanks so much for the advice and guidance. Intel CT PCIE Gigabit went in like a charm. I made the BIOS changes you recommended, rebooted my 5.2 DSM, and it recognised the card, set up the IP, and ran flawlessly. Next, 6.x... Thanks! S

@RacerX, thanks so much for the pointer. That explains why it wasn't picked up. While I'm here... any idea if my existing DSM 5.2 will work with the new card? Or is it an old card/5.2 and new card/6.x?

Hi all. Thanks for all the great notes and guidance. Not to mention all the hard work pulling all this together. I've got an N64L G7 which I've been running 5.2 on for years. Finally decided to update to 6.x. I followed all the great instructions from @Polanskiman, triple checked my MAC address, booted up with @jun1.04b loader, but couldn't find the server on the network with find.synology or the assistant. I did a little more looking on this thread and found that my NIC was tg3 so I needed @IG-88's extra.lzma. HP NC107i PCIe Gigabit Server Adapter BCM95723 No problem. I renamed the old extra.lzma, dropped this one into the second partition, booted up and... still can't see the server on the network. The NIC light on the server is flashing away but my router doesn't see it. So I'm stuck. Suggestions please??
