davidm71 Posted November 5, 2021 Share #1 Posted November 5, 2021 Hi, Not really doing my research I purchased a Intel 82571 controller from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B098L7NCM9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Anyhow only one of the ports is recognized and turned on. Both work in Windows 10 so guessing 6.2 support for that card is lacking. Any way to get the drivers for that card compiled and installed turning on both ports? If not I'll pull the card and put it else where. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidm71 Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted November 5, 2021 Thanks for the links. They do reference that the 82571 should have native support but for what ever reason the second lan port doesn't get activated. Must be limitation in the dsm driver. Both ports work in Windows. I ran lspci on the devices and I see both 8086 -xxxx (don't remember will update). One has a '/' backslash before it. Not sure what that means. Anyhow be easier just to buy a supported dual lan card thats on the supported thread than figure this out. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NooL Posted November 5, 2021 Share #4 Posted November 5, 2021 (edited) That card should work fine with both ports. Did you either, deactivate the built-in LAN on your motherboard or set netif_num to 3 in the grub.cfg?

davidm71 Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share #5 Posted November 5, 2021 No I have not deactivated the built in Killer port because that one works and thought three ports would be good for bandwidth. Not familiar with the netif_num 3 setting. Will reboot in Windows and take not of the mac addresses which I neglected to update. Will try it out and see what happens. Thanks for the tip. Thanks.

flyride Posted November 5, 2021 Share #6 Posted November 5, 2021 netif_num is for redpill loader. If you are trying to use DS918+ and Jun's loader, you will need to modify maxlanport in /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how to modify maxianport but will attempt to ssh and figure it out. Thanks Edit: Thanks for the tip! It worked! Now all three ports are working! Next was wondering do I have to do anything special such that all three lan ports are merged together? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidm71 Posted November 5, 2021 Author Share #9 Posted November 5, 2021 This is weird. The first and third lan devices have the same ip address and same mac address. Not sure if that did anything short of duplicating the first lan port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidm71 Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share #11 Posted November 6, 2021 Grub.cfg is in the first partition of the usb stick? I read there is a windows app that will load it up and mount it for editing. Will try later. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
