Hi,
I'm using Nas4free 9.1.0.1 rev 323 on an old AMD Sempron 2400+. The integrated NIC is a 100 Mb, so I bought two NIC to get 1 Gb :
* DLink DGE 528T with Realtek 8169S
* Edimax EN-9235TX-32 with Realtek 8111E
These chipset are supported by FreeBSD : http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/hardware.html
I choosed these cards because I wanted Jumbo Frame and WOL.
My problem :
When I start the NAS in autonegociation I get 100 Mb. When I put 1000baseTX in Half or Full Duplex, the Nas boots but the NIC is inactive. So I can't connect to the NAS by LAN, I have to use "reset to factory Defaults". I get this issue with both cards.
My question :
Is there a way to get 1 Gb with these cards ?
Perhaps I should change my motherboard, CPU and memory. What do you think ?
Thank you,

Re: NIC to get gigabit
what are in the other end? a gigabit Switch or what?
You need a gigabit Switch and a good cat5e cable ( cat5 without "e" only works at 100MB)

Did you choose the additional NIC from Console Setup?johann wrote: When I start the NAS in autonegociation I get 100 Mb.

Awesome it works.
From the NAS to the switch I had got a cat5e and I couldn't connect it in 1000Mb.
From my PC to the switch I had got a cat 5 and it worked in 1000Mb.
I just changed the cable and now it works.
So my two cat5 work in 1000Mb and my lonely cat5e doesn't work. Really weird !
Thank you !

Re: NIC to get gigabit
8111E is supported by BSD 8.3 and Up, so if your LAN do not work , revise obvious faillure points: check cable cat5e or cat 6 ( not valid cat5 ), and that you have link, you need to revise that your NIC is selected as your LAN :
Eg: I have 4 NIC, so I need to define who was LAN, who was OPT1, OPT2 and OPT3, you can do it on Network|Interface Management
revise if DHCP or static IP in Static IP revise DNS and gateway.
