[Discussion] USB-2.5Gbe adapters; Compatibility

Post by Gremlin »

Do you have any compatibility list for these adapters?

I did not see anything on support pages. Ideally I would be looking for something to fit both my NAS types (-221 & -424).

Anyone have any good info to share?
F5-221 TOS7.0.0777 - 4x4TB (Ironwolf) Traid
F2-424 TOS7.0.0777 - 2x500GB nvme (P3) Traid, 2x6TB HDD (HGST) Traid
F2-221 TOS7.0.0777 - 1x3TB Ext4, 1x4TB Btrfs
F2-425+ TOS7.0.0777 - 2x500GB nvme (P3) Traid, 2x6TB HDD (EXOS) Traid

It likely needs to be a Realtek RTL8156 based adapter to work on TOS.

They've provided a fix in the event one of their own adapters doesn't detect @ viewtopic.php?f=82&t=5257, which might help "fix" other similar adapters with a matching PHY.

Yes, I read the 'fix' discussion - I really don't want the hassle ;)
