Hello,
I wanted to install a new TrueNAS Core system today.
To do this, I downloaded the latest TrueNAS image to a stick and installed it on a new PC.
Unfortunately, the new PC uses a 2.5 Gigabit from Realtek, namely the RTL8125.
And unfortunately TrueNAS does not find a network card after starting and I therefore have no access.
I have been googling for 3 hours now and have tried everything with no success.
But the card is displayed with ‘pciconf -lv’.
Of course I have already gone into the shell and edited the file ‘/boot/loader.conf’ and added the following lines:
if_re_load="YES"
if_re_name="/boot/modules/if_re.ko"
But that didn’t help, after a reboot the lines were still in the file, but the network card was not recognised.
Then I had a look and saw that there is no ‘if_re.ko’ at all in the /boot/modules folder.
Installing via PKG does not work without Internet and Internet only with network.
So I searched and found the file ‘realtek-re-kmod-196.04.txz’.
This is the last one for FreeBSD12.
I then extracted ‘ir_re.ko’ from the archive and copied it to /boot/modules.
But that doesn’t work either.
