Hi all! I'm new here and need some help.
I'm planning on building my first TrueNAS Scale system based on a Ryzen 5600 CPU (not an APU) with 64GB ECC RAM and an ASRock Rack main board supporting IPMI. The board I'm looking at has two onboard Broadcom BCM57416 10GbE NICs, but I can't find anywhere if the drivers for the BCM57416 are present in TrueNAS Core/Scale?
I know Intel and Chelsio are recommended, but unfortunately the main board model that uses the X550 chipset is nowhere in stock here in The Netherlands. Now you might say: use a PCIe card. I did look into that option, but unfortunately the CPU does not have enough PCIe lanes to support x16 and x8 simultaneously. I'm planning on using an ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4 Card with four NVMe drives (requires x4x4x4x4 bifurcation) so besides that I'm only left with an x1 port which is not enough for a 10Gb card.
The drivers for the Broadcom BCM57416 are apparently baked-in starting with Debian 11 (if I read correctly), but I'm not sure if that also means they are in TrueNAS Scale? Does anybody know? Your reply is greatly appreciated!
