  • Supported SFP+ Cards

    Thanks chewitt,


    I'll try to take a closer look with a friend within the next weeks to give it a try.


    To be honest, I think the usecase is pretty niche (galvanic isolation to my backbone, more performance (just on the paper), "because more power is better *Tim Taylor grunt*"), while the hardware itself might be the first choice for all who want to go on 10G fiber.

    With kind regards,
    Felix

    Thanks, got it!

    IDK why I did not found Mellanox in the list on the first try.

    So if I see it right, Mellanox in generally not enable, also nothing from the Intel X5xx series nor the Realtek RTL8127.


    Regarding specific cards, my favourites would be (in that order):
    Mellanox CX311
    Intel X520-DA1
    Realtek RTL8127
    Any Mellonox X2 to X4
    Any Intel X520

    Is there any way to install drivers later (per SSH or so) on LibreELEC, or is doing an own build a must?
    (And would I need to do it for every update of LibreELEC?)

    Regards,

    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

    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
