I try to compile drivers but in count work
If there are Compile driver for my NIC please send it for me or help me to compile my nic driver
thanks

There's no need to compile drivers for the PRO/1000 NICs; they're already compiled into the kernel. These NICs will appear either as em or igb interfaces. What's more likely is you purchased a counterfeit card.

See https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...007074/network-and-i-o/ethernet-products.html on how to validate your NIC is a genuine Intel NIC.

I am using a PRO1000/PT quad port card, and as Samuel states, works out of the box for both TrueNAS Core 12 and 13.
They show up as em interfaces as they use the em4 driver built into kernel.
What exactly does it mean: "but not work probably"? The more information you give the more likely someone can help.

1- Nic Card detect on TrueNAS (pic1)
2- I set Static IP Address on card but em0 not up and only em1 up
3- when i ping ip, reply ping is unstable (pic2)
4- I use Realtek nic with intel pro/1000 pt. after i load if_re.ko on my kernel. It work.
I try to use "make" for compile intel nic driver that was on CD but "make" not work on truenas
can you send for me the if_em.ko?

Please DON'T try to compile a driver; it's already built in.
You likely have a cable issue or a hardware problem with the NIC. There's still a decent chance you have a counterfeit card.

Are there problem for us PCI-E slot 16x?
My NIC Install on PCI-E 16X that use for GPU?!

This depends on your hardware, and whether your BIOS allows you to bifurcate the lanes to accommodate a narrower card than a GPU. Some motherboards insist on supporting only GPUs in that slot.

Please, verify your NIC is genuine, and report back.
