Truenas Scale on Asrock Q1900-itx not network card found

[danny36]

hello everyone.
i installed truenas scale on an asrock q1900-itx motherboard but unfortunately the network card doesn't work, the leds are off and no network interface is found. maybe it's a driver problem? could someone help me? thank you

That board has a realtek nic and those are trash and tend to either work very poorly or not at all

If the LEDs are off, there is no physical connection. That is an issue independent from the RealTek aspect.

the lan cable works and it's right connected to the switch, I'm sure work because before install truenas scale I have teste another linux software and the network card and cable works right so I think it's a driver problem with truenas scale.

Change your card with an Intel, Broadcom or Chelsio one, proven that the PCIe slot works.

unfortunately I can't because I already have a sata card installed.
anyway I've read of users using this motherboard with truenas so I wonder why mine doesn't work.

CORE or SCALE users?
In one of the two iirc In CORE U2 the drivers were disabled by default as a security measure.

the motherboard use Realtek RTL8111GR network card

Awful NIC for TrueNAS, sorry.
You can try accessing the cli with a monitor and reset the network settings.

Can you recommend a compatible low power motherboard?

Finding a CPU that hits the "sweet spot"

I'm having a lot of trouble finding a CPU that fits into the following "sweet spot": -supports ECC RAM -decent performance (4 - 12 cores, 2 - 3 GHz base speed) -low TDP (under 80-ish W idle) -fits a motherboard that is some flavor of ATX or Mini-ITX -- I want to use a Fractal Define case for...
