2.5GBe USB LAN
I have an old Ultra2 2Gb RAM running 6.10.9 OS. NAS is working great but 1Gb LAN is a bottleneck. I've bought cheap 2.5GBe USB LAN adapter based on realtek chip, attached to USB3 port and installed ...
How did you install the driver? It's going to need kernel support, and the kernel doesn't have any drivers for 2.5GbE devices, AFAIK. It only natively supports 1GB and below and 10GbE. I'm suspicious that it's using the native Realtek driver, which is 1GbE max, not what you installed.
Actually it's a kernel module, just downloaded from https://www.realtek.com/Download/List?cate_id=585 and compiled.
