Is RTL8112L supported by Nas4Free 9.1?

Post by dh_leslie »

I built my nas on ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO with NIC RTL8112L. It seems Nas4Free only detected RTL8112L as a 100M NIC. The cables are fine because my MAC BOOK pro works well at 1000M with the same cable.
Any solution for this problem? Thanks.

The Realtek NIC are sometimes problematic. Please start by reading Q: Where can I find a list of hardware compatible with NAS4Free/FreeBSD? If your RTL8112L is not found anywhere you may have to find and load the driver from the realtek site, if they have one, otherwise you may be stuck with 100Mb.

Good luck,
Al

All the best,
