I have installed TrueNAS 25.10.1 - Goldeye on a very old motherboard with AMD Phenom processor, 8 G RAM running on Kingston SSD drive. The NIC is a TrendNet TX-401 10 GB NIC in a PCIe 3 slot. Surprisingly it is performing on par with my QNAP NAS.
My question is, I am trying to set up jumbo frames on the NIC, but every time I try to,I loose connectivity to the NAS. I have used this NIC previously on the same switch with 9000 mtu without issue. The only difference it was in a much newer Windows 11 computer, not Linux. I have read several posts with people using jumbo frames on TX401, so I am wondering what could be the issue here?
The system has loaded the following driver for the card.

Is there a better driver I should be using or related to using the NIC on an very old motherboard?
