Problem: The RTL8727 is a very popular new 10G NIC that is stable, power-efficient, and runs much cooler than the older Aquantia AQC113. It is an ideal choice for homelab and prosumer NAS builds. However, the driver for the RTL8727 was only added to the mainline Linux kernel in version 6.15. Even…

No 8727 is 8127, and the driver supports the 6.12 kernel.

Please close this and I will create a new one

Are you unable to edit the post?

Yes, I cannot edit. Posted a proper one here: Backport r8127 driver for Realtek RTL8127 10G NICs

I can edit… but since you’ve jumped the gun, you might want to remove your vote here and signal your own thread for closure. Do NOT expect TrueNAS to act swiftly tough. Upgrading kernel is a major effort and will never occur outside a new release.

Flagged for moderation already. Removed the vote too. I understand that a full kernel change is a big undertaking, which is why I am requesting for the driver module to be added, so that users don’t end up tampering with their rootfs to get it to work.

Backport Realtek RTL8127 10G NIC Driver to TrueNAS (hopefully sooner than 26.04)
