How to check and update NIC drivers in SCALE?

[JoHapp]

We got a 2nd NIC for our Truenas Scale.
It's a "Marvell QL41132HLCU-CK 10G Dual Port PCIe Server NIC 2x SFP+ w/ iWARP RDMA"

It's not showing up in scale under network interfaces.
I think it might be connected with missing drivers. Is there a away to check, if the specific drivers are installed?

Or, can anybody give me an advise, how to install those drivers?
I found those: https://driverdownloads.qlogic.com/....aspx?ProductCategory=325&Product=1270&Os=175

I'd suggest checking output of dmesg first, make sure you don't see any weird errors in there related to the driver not loading.

Otherwise please open a ticket in https://jira.ixsystems.com with these details, and a debug file (System -> Advanced -> Download Debug) so we can investigate it, see if there's something we need to include out of box.

Thanks. I just opened a ticket.

Small update on it.
Here are perfectly described the Linux commands (via shell) to get all information on installed NICs:

https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-list-network-cards-command/

In my case I get the information:

I find these Information in the Ubunto Forum (https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1314693):

Unclaimed' typically means no driver has attached to it. If you have an internet connection by ethernet, I suggest you open a terminal and do:

Code: sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty

Reboot and you should be good to go.

Well, I am not sure about running those commands, but at least I gives me the confrimation, that it is a driver issue.

Can I find somewhere a list of supported NICs for Truenas ? Our card is unsupported and we will have to wait for an update.

我可以在某处找到 Truenas 支持的 NIC 列表吗？我们的卡不受支持，我们将不得不等待更新。

I am also looking for a list like this

Same... I did not have good luck with an Intel X520-1 SFP+

Adding Intel X520-1 SFP+ 10gig... Missing drivers? Not sure how to advance

I'm not sure how to advance on this. Built a new NAS to install TrueNAS SCALE on. Installed an "Intel(R) Ethernet Server Adapter X520-1" (as my Windows machine w/ fresh Intel drivers recognizes it) in my NAS box. On my TrueNAS machine, the card appears in lshw: root@truenas[~]# sudo lshw...

The available ethernet network adapter drivers for the current SCALE kernel can be listed at the CLI using, for example:

@GoingOffRoading

The current SCALE RELEASE does have the ixgbe driver and I can modprobe it on a system with no X520 NIC attached.

root@scalevm1[~]# modprobe ixgbe root@scalevm1[~]# lsmod | grep ix ixgbe 397312 0 xfrm_algo 16384 1 ixgbe mdio_devres 16384 1 ixgbe libphy 151552 2 mdio_devres,ixgbe ptp 32768 1 ixgbe mdio 16384 1 ixgbe dca 16384 2 ioatdma,ixgbe root@scalevm1

OMV uses a backported debian 5.14 kernel and the ixgbe driver is superfically the same when compared to SCALE. I don't know enough about your NIC so say why it does not work in SCALE. It's possible it maybe a problem with the SCALE kernel, close study ofthe boot message via journalctl may offers some clues.

AWESOME response, thank you!
