Hi everyone,
I just isolated a problem in getting full 10Gbps speed between my TrueNAS system and my Windows 11 Desktop.
The problem is the intel CNA X-520-D2 that I have installed on my desktop. I made it work with intel official driver, but it is quite old and at the end it is not working properly on Windows 11.
Truenas (it has a Celsio NIC on board) is connecting at a full 10Gbps with my Linux Desktop and even if I run a live linux distro on my windows machine, I can get the network work at full speed.
That means that the driver is the problem. Has anyone had a similar problem which is now solved?
I'm waiting for an Intel X540-T1 in the next days, but I fear that I'm gonna face the same problem.
Anyone who solved this windows driver issue?
Thanks in advance!
