Hello!
I ordered the following "Dell Broadcom 57810S Dual Port DA/SFP+ 10Gb Network Adapter" as part of setting up my home lab with 2 PowerEdge R620 servers thinking I might be able to use them for TrueNAS as well. I've been researching and it seems like some people are having luck in the past with setting up the 57810 cards. I've tried with adding the "Tunables> if_bxe_load, YES, Loader" but I don't know how to modify the Kernal file to add the drivers to the Kernal which I was reading that you would have to recomplie the Kernel if you did this. I was wondering if this is a card that can be used? If so how would I go about adding it? Is it better to just get something like the "Chelsio T520 CR"? I'm assuming that the "Chelsio T580-LP-CR" cannot be used for 10GB since it would most likely require different dac cables/switch to read it's speed much like you can't mix SFP and SFP+ correct? I've read off of the "10 Gig Networking Primer" guide and just wondering all of these things since Intel is more expensive and you have to worry more about knockoff cards. Both of the Chelsio cards I can see for around 130$ used but wondering if I should abandone the cards i have now lol. Only using for 10GB backbone and to use for failover clustering on my Server 2019/2022 test lab. My error is included. Thanks as always!
