Hi everyone, currently I'm running DSM 6.1.7-15284 on my baremetal machine with Core 2 Quad Q6600 and 4GBs of RAM and a mix of Hard Drives in JBOD Raid. I'm currently following the development of RedPill closely and was wondering the compatibility of this specific Intel NIC - 39Y6128 IBM Intel Pro/1000 PT Dual Port. As my onboard ethernet is an RTL8111/8168/8411 PCIe (Linux Driver r8169) and since Xpenology is super picky with network cards I haven't been able to update to any 6.2.x as none of the bootloader works and pulls an IP from my router DHCP's server. (From my logs in Synology itself, it looks like it booted but since it can't get an IP, I can't set it up obviously.) Also my system only works with MBR partition which also requires a specially patched Synology bootloader image for it to be able to work with the drives plugged in. And since RedPill is also entering beta phase super soon, was wondering if it was possible for me to somewhat(?) future proof with an Intel NIC, or even better just start using Proxmox and split my CPU and RAM into Xpenology leaving with more options and tweakability outside of the host machine. Appreciate any advices.
