Since I *do* know how to do it, I'm going to say the correct thing here:

TrueNAS is an appliance operating system and you are not supposed to be tinkering inside of it. This may cause problems and/or unexpected brokenness, especially when you update. We suggest using an inexpensive, readily available Intel Desktop CT card.

Use TrueNAS SCALE, it probably has this driver ready to go.

.., and this is it! t works like a charm now. I'm getting close to 1Gbs on my old internal/motherboard Killer E2200 NIC. Thank You, Kris!
I've installed TrueNAS Scale -Beta and successfully imported disk pools used in Core and then re-share'd them thru SMB again.

So here comes the conclusion. The Killer E2200 is not supported for some reason on TrueNAS Core (BSD based) but it is on TrueNAS Scale - Beta (Debian based).

That's not really a big surprise. Linux supports a wider variety of hardware than does FreeBSD.

Glad you have it working.
