There's no aqc113 driver in truenas 24.10?

I have plugged a new AQC113 NIC, XG-C100C V2 from Asus, which is a 10G/5G/2.5G/1G/100M/10M Base-T NIC
NIC can be recognized on dashboard, but link down.(see pic, 192.168.2.233)

Is AQC113 driver embedded in this OS? If not, how can I manually install it?

OS VERSION:TrueNAS-SCALE-24.10-BETA.1

Product:NUC9i5QNX

CPU:Intel(R) Core™ i5-9300H CPU @ 2.40GHz

RAM:15 GiB

I found out that this NIC won’t work with common AQC 113 driver, I have to install the Asus version driver instead. It works well on Windows.

For good support in TrueNAS, try to find a cheap second-hand Solarflare SFN x122F, Chelsio T520 (-BT for 10GBase-T), or Intel X520/540 card.

drivers can be downloaded here.
or aquantic official website.

I have no methods to patch it. pkg, make, apt are all disabled in OS

TrueNAS is an appliance OS. Users should not install drivers.

will TrueNAS upgrade or imply new AQC drivers?

I doubt it - not deliberately.

Its possible that a future kernel update in a TN update may contain such drivers but its unlikley that IX will go out of their way to include them. Consider how likley they are to use such ethernet devices in their IX hardware…

Your choices are:

  1. Hack TN Scale to include the drivers - not reccomended
  2. Wait and see
  3. Buy a “proper” NIC that they support - see @etorix 's post for details

LOL. I asked a firewall software vendor to add a NIC to their release and they put out a maintenance release with the kernel driver and it did just fine.

On a different vendor I asked about Aquantia support and they said they didn’t support it because it wasn’t included in Debian. They didn’t even know it (Atlantic) was built in to the Debian release but set to inactive at boot. I activated it and it worked just fine.

I get the appliance response about customer modifications, but adding a driver for a common NIC chipset is not that big of a deal if they use automation.
