Hello friends.
I'm getting the error message in the title when doing the initial setup of TrueNAS 12.0-U8. Searching around has suggested that the problem is that my hardware is not compatible. That hardware being a "MPG B560I GAMING EDGE WIFI" which has "Realtek® RTL8125B 2.5Gbps LAN controller" as its network adapter. Yes yes, I know, "gaming motherboard". I've always treated "gaming" motherboards as just marketing. It had never crossed my mind that there would actually be any "gaming" optimizations, or that it wouldn't be fit for other purposes. But here I am all the same...
My questions are: How screwed am I? Is there any way to make my current hardware compatible, some driver or setting or anything? I'm not particularly interested in buying another motherboard and rebuilding the entire system, and a NIC isn't an option because I'm using the one PCIe slot for a SAS controller. If TrueNAS just won't work for my hardware, can anyone suggest any alternatives that will (Unraid? Some linux distro?)?
