Realtek GbE with 3615+ 6.2.2

[singhsnet]

I am trying to upgrade from a Gigabyte motherboard with B75M chipset. 

 

it has Reltek GbE lan. I see that 6.2.1+ needs intel nic. How do I add realtek driver with this?

 

I am using 1.03b loader

 

when I uncomment the extra.lzma section, it gives me error that file '/rd/gz' not found. it also seems that it can not locate $img/$extra_initrd

 

I tried searching all over but not sure why the 2nd partition content is not read. 

 

any pointers?

loader version

Get an intel nic card, it’s cheap and will go a long way for the next several releases of DSM. My gigabyte mobo has the same Realtek 8111, i just dropped a $30 intel gig nic pci-e 1x. Works great.

try using real3x extra.lzma mod, search in this forum

Thanks, I will try that. 

already ordered Intel nic, so may not be able to continue with testing (tedious).

the guy in this post says the Realtek GbE now working again in DSM 6.2.2 Update 3, no need for extra.lzma modding?

let try extra.lzma from real3x. i'm OK with both Update 2 and now Update 3!

another question I had, how to use extra.lzma its not loading in my case when I uncomment the section in grub file. it says file /rd.gz not found. 

 

do you know how to do that? if I try to move this file to first partition, it is not big enough.
