QNAP QNA-UC5G1T 5 GBit USB 3 driver?

[flashdrive]

Hello,

as first stated in here:

USB 3 - 5 GBit network connector e.g. QNAPs QNA-UC5G1T - recommendable ?

Hi, I do not need a 10 GBit connection. Client and host should be upgraded to 5 GBit. How does FreeBSD / TrueNAS operate with USB 3 - 5 GBit network connector e.g. QNAPs QNA-UC5G1T ? I was thinking of USB 3 connection for the host because of re-useability compared to a PCI E add in card. If...

www.truenas.com

I have plugged in a single QNA-UC5G1T into my system.

dmesg does detect it:

ugen0.3: <QNAP QNAP QNA-UC5G1T USB to 5GbE Adapter> at usbus0

However I cannot make it useable in TrueNAS, as it seems:

ifconfig -a

no show

inside TrueNAS the same.

Any ideas?

QNA-UC5G1T | Connect to 5GbE networks over USB 3.2 Gen 1

The light and portable QNAP QNA-UC5G1T USB 3.2 Gen 1 to 5GbE adapter provides the ability to add an extra network port to your Windows® computer or QNAP NAS. Supporting 5GbE/ 2.5GbE/ 1GbE/ 100MbE connections, the QNA-UC5G1T is especially useful for laptops that lack native Ethernet connectivity.

Requires the Marvell AQtion AQC111U driver

so far so good

How would I install that in TrueNAS then?

no joy so far:

How to install drivers for a NIC? (AQtion AQC107/XG-C100C)

I'm gonna look into it tomorrow. I've never compiled a driver before tho so it might be smart to let someone else do it. Someone who has done it before. Thanks for your input.

This is going to be lenghty about the QNAP QNA-UC5G1T 5 GBit USB 3 out TrueNAS, so here we go:


1) Generic Win 10 PC with QNAP QXG-5G1T-111C Netzwerkkarte Ethernet 5000 Mbit/s intern
2) MacBook Pro (old one)
3) MacBook Air (last Intel CPU model)

4) Switch Asus XG-U2008 10G Switch (2x 10G Ports, 8x GB-LAN Ports, Unmanaged)
5) good quality CAT 7 ethernet cables

drivers from QNAP and https://www.marvell.com/support/downloads.html

installed:

QNAP QNA-UC5G1T Firmware

3.1.6

2020-06-08

A)
1) and 2)
Static IP, direct connect without switch - devices do see each other

However: in 2) plug and play directly into MBPro QNAP QNA-UC5G1T 5 GBit USB 3 is being detected, but without 5 GBit mode

On both NICs all lights are green, good to go

Starting a file transfer using cifs/smb from 2) > 1) - after about 5 seconds the network share is lost

Conclusion: useless

reports point to installation of macOS driver, but this seems to be a hassle

B)
1) and 3)

same as A) connection wise

On both NICs all lights are green, good to go

Starting a file transfer using cifs/smb from 2) > 1) RAM Disk = 200 MByte/s

Conclusion: useful but not 5 GBit speed

C)

same as above, but with 4)

QNAP QNA-UC5G1T 5 GBit USB 3 does not go to 5Gbit speed, indicator at device is not green

Conclusion: useless switch

1)

Delock 65990

Pricy alternative: Aquantia ACQ107

2)
QNAP QNA-T310G1T, RJ-45, Thunderbolt 3 - doesn't work with MB Pro

3)

Sonnet Solo 10G, Thunderbolt

Also hab ich ein bisschen tiefer in die Tasche gegriffen und einen Sonnet Solo 10G mit Aquantia ACQ107 chip drin. Das ist glücklicherweise der gleiche Chip, den der iMac Pro nativ verwendet und Apple bringt den Treiber nativ in Big Sur mit
=> Funktioniert perfekt ohne Einschränkungen. Direkt Plug an play, 10Gbit möglich, MTU9000 möglich.

macOS Big Sur - 5 GBit Ethernet Adapter unter Big Sur lauffähig?

Hi zusammen, hat es jemand von euch schonmal geschafft, unter Big Sur einen 5 GBit USB-Ethernet Adapter zum laufen zu bekommen? Mit Catalina hat alles noch geklappt, aber seit dem Big Sur Update geht keiner mehr. Folgende waren vorher prinzipiell kompatibel: QNAP QNA-UC5G1T USB A/C...

comment from another user:

If these aren't set, my RTL8125 card doesn't work. I do not have any hardware supported by the builtin driver, so, unfortunately, I can't confirm whether the builtin driver actually works with these tunables disabled/removed (but I will be surprised if it doesn't).

RTL8156 will be supported by the cdce driver on 13.0-RELEASE.
You can try on 13.0-BETAs/RCs.

Remember that TrueNAS != FreeBSD. Stuff that's supported on FreeBSD is sometimes (often?) not supported on TrueNAS. I can't ever see them supporting USB NIC interfaces as that's not the target market for TrueNAS.

Also Realtek chipsets are generally despised here - although I suppose there must be a good one, with good drivers somewhere, maybe, possibly, perhaps.
