Okay, so, long story short, I've been running xpenology for over a year on a Bosch DVR appliance I inherited. It's got a nice 4-bay form-factor, has an all intel-chipset, and has more or less just worked, as long as I didn't mess up my bootloaders. However, I'm noticing Plex playback is very laggy, especially now that I'm starting to add 4k to my collection, and I was hoping to remedy that. I've always ran the DS3615xs firmware...and in reading up on hardware decoding, noticed mention that the 916+ version supported said decoding. Currently running the latest beta by @jun "Okay, neat." I think. This shouldn't be hard. I download the new image, flash it to USB...it boots. But my device is not showing in synology web assistant or normal assistant, and I'm not seeing it on the LAN. It has a link light, but I have no further way of establishing if it's really online or not. Assuming *not*. The odd part is, I'd assume that if the 3615 loader would work on my Intel hardware, the 916+ wouldn't have an issue either. So, question being - does anybody know what I may be doing wrong, or if there's a NIC firmware that's different that is causing me to not be able to detect this? I've tried adding the extra drivers by @IG-88 as recommended by @Polanskiman, but that has not helped at all. Tried booting into all 3x versions in the grub menu, and my grub.config is otherwise identical to the old one, aside from referencing the new model version. Below is some hardware info I was able to dump from SSH...
