Supported SFP+ Cards

  • Hey there,


    I'm not sure if I just missed the spot where I should have looked for the information, but does anyone know if there are any PCIe cards for SFP+ connections are supported by LibreELEC (regular PC version)?

    Maybe some from Mellanox or Intel?

    Thanks and regards,
    Felix

  • This is our kernel defconfig https://github.com/LibreELEC/Libr…nux.x86_64.conf

    Fibre NICs aren't a thing among our domestic userbase, hence there's probably little/no info on the topic, but that ^ file is where to cross-reference the NIC driver that's required for a specific device and whether it's enabled by default or would need to be enabled to work. Some NICs may also require firmware blobs but that can always be solved by dropping things in /storage/.config/firmware folders so they are overlaid on /usr/lib/firmware on next boot.

  • Hi chewitt,


    I must confess that my Linux knowlage is on the "I can follow instructions" level😅


    I tried to look up the drivers in the file you linked, but I did not see any section that looks like ethernet drivers for me😅
    Could you point out which lines are from interest for me?

    Thanks and regards,
    Felix
