Hello.
I know that this may sound like a bad idea but I really hope to get this to work.
So, basically what happens is that I wanted to upgrade my motherboard on-board NIC (It is a Realtek and it has worked just fine) which was just 10mb/s, with a TG-3468 tp-link NIC with is 1Gbps, but the problem, as you may have guessed, is that truenas doesn't have a driver built-in for it, which doesn't mean there isn't a driver for that card because I searched on a blog and found a driver for it (you can take a look at the blog here: https://www.kristijan.org/2010/11/freenas-realtek-network-card/).
You may ask why didn't I just followed the installation process of that post? At the part when it says "mount_msdosfs /dev/da1 /mnt/usb", the shells returns "Invalid argument" which means the usb stick cant be accessed. And, yes, it is in FAT, meaning that there is something messing around that I haven't find out (I was in root access in case you doubt). Another option that I'm considering right now is to recompile a custom kernel. I know that if I do that, I wont be running native Truenas and probably wont be able to update, but to be honest, I just want my server running with the card, no more. If anyone could tell me how to recompile the kernel or tell me where i can find documentation about it I will appreciate it very much. Even if you can help me understand why in the shell part appears me that return.
