Quick question about NIC drivers 219-LM

[SanKen]

Are there drivers for this network card in RedPill DSM 7.x? I'm interested in DS3622 and DSM 7.1

 

Need some additional module?

just boot tc and let it list the pci id's of the devices and let it auto detect you hardware, you would see the used extensions after that and you can check whats used be looking up the drivers used in the extensions

but there are more complicated ways too that can be done without tc with just a recovery or live linux (use lspci)

 

you can check with the pci id of the hardware here if its present in the list of devices

https://github.com/pocopico/tinycore-redpill/blob/main/modules.alias.4.json.gz

(unpapck the gz)

 

or try to find what driver is used by other sources like this

https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/12859-driver-extension-jun-103a2dsm62x-for-ds918/

(network driver list, its e1000e for i219-lm))

and then ckeck the driver in the git repository (3622 is broadwellnk)

https://github.com/pocopico/4.4.180plus-broadwellnk

https://github.com/pocopico/4.4.180plus-broadwellnk/blob/main/e1000e.ko

but to really be certain you would still need the pci id of the device to look if its listed in the driver (there is usually the kernel's default driver, in case of kernel 4.4 its kind of old so newer hardware revisions might not be supported by that drivers, and there are newer drivers made from external source), can be done with modinfo or a editor and looking for "vermagic", close by that is the list of supported hardware id's you would also see when using modinfo

that's not really the pci id you you use to look in up in the driver "lspci -vvn" would give you "8086:15b7" plus u subsystem id

that would be the thing you look for but you dont need to as i already told you the driver you need is e1000e and thats the extension you need to look for, if its not added then there is something wrong

 

but as dsm for a lot of units comes with a e1000e driver itself it might work ootb without any additional driver, depending on the nic's hardware (there might be newer revisions/phy's not working with syno's default driver), the driver in 918+ seems to be at least 3 years old (v3.4.2.4) but the "latest" i've seen is 3.8.7 from 10/2020

 

my goal was to enable you (or anyone interested) to find out by themself if the driver needed is there even before installing/using tc loader and it can be done with the pci id of the device and the json file or the correct driver file from tc's source on github

Works without any additional drivers.

Thanks
