18:05:58 <nikolam> What shall i do with this non-working LAN card with  RTL8168H , pciex10ec,8161  I have I think 3 of them. Should I accept they are not working under ' rge ' in illumos or is it actually working for some other illumos distro then SmartOS . Maybe it should work if driver alias is added before services have started 
18:07:47 <nikolam> I added update_drv -a -i pciex10ec,8161 rge   to the service that starts with SmartOS , but it has no effext in working as ' external  ' interface
18:08:21 <nikolam> Maybe if it would be added before, earlier in the boot process ? 
18:10:01 <nikolam> Should i need to build my own SmartOS tar archive to put on the USB drive that includes driver aliases for that card under rge ?
20:04:09 <danmcd> Is it a GigE ?  it *should* match to existing 8168 support.
20:04:33 <danmcd> kebe(intel/os)[0]% grep 8168 driver_aliases 
20:04:33 <danmcd> rge "pci10ec,8168,p"

21:49:41 <Dixie_F>  SmartOS joyent_20260430T145637Z on Intel 7 Series/C210 xHC reports super-speed on xhci, but throughput is only ~108MB/s raw.   Is this expected for illumos scsa2usb/xhci/BOT/UASP behavior, or are there tunables/known-good controllers/bridges that might improve this (3x as fast on old macbook)
