Hello FreeNAS Community,

I have installed an Intel X540-T2 (Dell) network adapter in my FreeNAS server.
Unfortunately FreeNAS does not find this network adapter.

Is there a way to integrate the network adapter somehow?

I have already chosen the driver for Unix.

I downloaded it and unpacked it.
I have to compile the driver with CLANG and MAKE.

Is it possible to install these tools without jails?
I know how to compile, but unfortunately I am not familiar with jails and chroot environments.

My questions are:
Do I need jails to install cc and make?
Do I have to install the driver in a jail?
It is always advisable to install drivers?

Many thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Laurence Trippen
