Hi.
Started using TrueNAS scale a while ago and ran into the problem that the built-in Realtek 8111m network card is not detected.
Mini PC: soyo m2plus (intel n100)
I tested on original debian and there is the same problem, but if I install drivers and module for RTL 8168, the network card starts working correctly.
Moreover, while TrueNAS scale is running, LED indicators on rj45 show that there is a link and occasionally some short packet is sent.
Tried plugging in an external USB network card and it is detected and works correctly, but I would like to solve this problem without additional adapters to have an all-in-one device. Furthermore, the external network card and my past PC also used Realtek cards but a different model.
I wouldn’t want to patch the OS image or unlock APT because if I update the OS, the changes will be lost and I will lose the connection to the device.
