NIC SFP+

[adrian208]

Hello everyone i'm new with freeness, but i install already 2x freenas on Hp Dl380e gen8 with some problems but finally it works great,
but in 3rd server i have problem with NIC, drivers are not install automatically but BIOS see my NIC sfp+ card without problems.
So is there any list of nic's that are supported in FreeNAS? Is there any way to install drivers manual for my NIC?

No driver install. So nics supported by freenas are the same as freebsd.

Other than that you provided zero information so no one can help you any further. We need hardware specs.

Please head on over to the 10 Gig Networking Primer where there's a discussion of the well-supported cards.

@adrian208 I would search the forums and see what others experience is with that card. It might not work and you might need to get one that is supported.

Brocade cards aren't going to work.

Here are the ones that will work: https://www.ixsystems.com/community/resources/10-gig-networking-primer.42/

Chelsio T4 sounds like a good card to get. But really, anything in that article that you can find for a good price.
