Hi community,
I've installed Freenas 11.2-RC1 on a Dell T640 server. The network card seems to be recognized as shown below :
But, even if ethernet cables are plugged in, it still shows "no carrier". If my understanding is right, that means, the native driver doesn't fit.
This analysis seems to be confirmed by the following boot message :
I've tried to install a new driver by putting the new .ko file to /boot/kernel and by modifying the /boot/loader.conf in order to load it on the next boot.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work because, apparently, I must put my modification in a "configuration database".
Since I don't have any working network connection, I cannot access to the web interface.
My question is: how to insert these modifications into the configuration database via the CLI?
And more globally, what is the best way to make my network working?
Any help is appreciated.
Precision: the network card is an Intel X710/X557-TA 10GB
Note: the onboard Broadom NIC 57416 doesn't even appear on ifconfig command.
