HELP - FreeNAS-x64-9.2.1.6 with nic intel onboard chipset 82579LM

[Guilherme]

Good night,
Sorry for my english,
I'm new to the forum and need help.
I'm running FreeNAS-x64-9.2.1.6-RELEASE via a USB stick.
My motherboard is an Asrock Z97E-ITX/ac. (Http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z97E-ITXac/?cat=Specifications)
She has a network card intel 82579LM Gigabit network connection, onboard, chipset is not recognized by the operating system.
Already tried installing Freebsd 9.2 and compile the module, source https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?DwnldID=17509
I copied the file .ko to /boot/kernel/if_em.ko and put to boot from /boot/loader.conf in my FreeNAS
The service begins with the module operating system however the interface em0 is not up and is not recognized in /dev/XXX
Can anyone help me on this problem?
Freenas supports this nic?
Appreciate the attention already

Two things...

1. Can you post the output of "pciconf -lv"
2. Please read: https://bugs.freenas.org/issues/5105

At the end I commented that this is one reason why desktop motherboards aren't good choices. They use the desktop chips which (aside from not supporting the always important ECC) they may have NICs that aren't compatible with FreeNAS.

Unfortunately, you are most likely not going to be able to use that NIC. And as the developers wrote in the ticket, it's closed to Intel to fix. It appears that one of two things are going to happen to get you support.

1. Someone ports the driver to FreeBSD 9. In particular 9.3 and they do it before it's compiled for RELEASE status.
2. FreeNAS upgrades to be based on FreeBSD 10.

Yep.. follow the link above and then buy yourself another network card. :(

 

[Guilherme]

Very tank you for u help.
I bought one realtek pcie chipset r8169 and the system automatically recognized

 

[cyberjock]

ROFL.. Realtek.

An Intel Pro/1000 would have been a better choice. If you discover performance issues with the new NIC and/or discover that the Realtek 8169 isn't supported in a future version of FreeNAS, you definitely want to switch NIC's again. An OEM version of the Pro/1000 costs about $30 USD.
