Previous/Reset: Clean install and re-activation
Mode/Status: Router
Issues/Errors: None so far
I have been meaning to try this for a while now however some health issues have kept me from doing any tinkering. I am happy to report the Realtek 8127 cards are recognized by DDWRT and functioning properly for 10G, 2.5G, and 1G connections (the only speeds I have to test). It only recognized one of my M2 slot AQC113 cards even with the custom startup script to initiate them. It would be nice if the AQC113 cards did not require initiation to get them running. So far the AQC cards are the only ones I have seen that require it. There should be plenty of space in X86 systems to have them initiated from the start.
I have not tried to install Entware for Adguard Home yet. I will let it run a day or two and then try it.
Edit: Just tried the new native Ethtool. Below is an ouput from one of the connected 8127 cards.

I was able to get it to recognize the second AQC113 M2 slot card by repeating my startup command thus making it look twice. I have also decided I am going to try Pi-hole running on a second X86 machine using Ubuntu server instead of Adguard-Home running on the X86 router. I have a spare Optiplex 5050 with an i7-6700, 16 GB RAM, and I will install a Realtek 8126 5Gbps card or an AQC107 10 Gbps card although both are extreme overkill.

These are kernel configurations.
The kernel is configured before it is compiled, these settings cannot be changed once the kernel has been compiled.
You can't change them via the CLI, and the CLI doesn't know the commands.
You should also use "modprobe" instead of "insmod", since modprobe takes dependencies into account
By the way, drivers cannot be loaded twice, either the driver is loaded or it isn't.

I am not going to pretend I understand it but the code I had works to initiate the AQC113 cards. If I run it once it recognizes one of them. If I do it twice it recognizes both of them. I tried changing insmod to modprobe and it did not recognize the cards although I am sure that likely caused a syntax error somewhere else. Linux coding is not a strong point for me. I changed it back to insmod, run once, and it recognized one card. I added a repeat of the code using insmod and it loaded both of them?????? I am sure there is a better way to write the startup script but the way I have it achieves what I want it to do.
Also, thank you for your guide for Pihole in your signature. I have successfully set up another computer running Pihole in Ubuntu. I was having issues trying to get Entware to work with these latest builds and thus could not get Adguard going. I like having the Pihole on a separate computer rather than running on the router. I probably could have gotten Adguard to run a sparate computer but wanted to try Pihole. They are very similar from whatI can tell. _________________ Custom computer w/ i7-13700T, 16GB DDR5 Ram, X710-T4L, i226 four port, two RLTK 8127 cards & dual AQC113 M2 slot card.

It should recognize both cards the first time the driver is loaded... and the second time it's loaded, nothing should happen at all except for an error message saying "the file already exists." _________________ Quickstart guides:
Thank you for your input. You are really good at this stuff and EXTREMELY helpful. I changed it to the one below and it worked to recognize both of them. I prefer it work in a startup script rather than having to initiate it via a terminal connection each time. I have no idea why the old script worked like it did but it did work. Like I said, I am a complete Linux dummy although I have been tinkering more and more with it.
I have a Linux instance using WSL on my Windows 11 laptop that I was using for custom compiling OpenWRT with the packages I wanted which I became familiar with using. Now I have the computer set up with Ubuntu I am using for Pihole. I decided to use a full version of Ubuntu rather than the server version just so I could "play" with it more. Of course everything I do in Linux I have to do some searching and typically end up using someone else's work posted out on the WWW to accomplish my goal.
The script I am using now that works

The Realtek 8127 cards ae working great and I can verify they connect at 2.5, 5, & 10 Gbps since I put a Realtek 8126 in my Pihole computer that has a 5 Gbps connection with one of my 8127's. I am curious when they will come out with multiport 8127 cards? A quad port one would be really nice. _________________ Custom computer w/ i7-13700T, 16GB DDR5 Ram, X710-T4L, i226 four port, two RLTK 8127 cards & dual AQC113 M2 slot card.

Can you measure the power conspumption of those fancy new 8127 cards somehow?
They are rumored to take less then 2W under full load, while maintaining a 10G link.
This would be awesome news, so... can you verify it?

I am not sure how to do that although I do not mind doing it if someone can tell me how? _________________ Custom computer w/ i7-13700T, 16GB DDR5 Ram, X710-T4L, i226 four port, two RLTK 8127 cards & dual AQC113 M2 slot card. Currently running OpenWRT and Adguard.

Some sort of intelligent power plug or a measurement device are needed. I bought some tasmota devices (plugs) back then, calibrated them against a known load and use those.
But if you dont have the means, no worries.
The time will come I get my hands on those new rtl chipsets =).

If you get one you have to be aware of what PCI version the card is vs your computer. Most of the 8127 are gen 4 X1. If your computer has gen 3 PCI it will not work at full speed. That is part of the reason I just built the new computer was to have gen 4 PCI-e. Only recently have I seen a 8127 card for PCI-e gen 3 and it is an X4 card. (links below) These cards are small with small heatsinks. They are likely very accurate on reporting low power usage.
I have had really good luck ordering from Ali Express

The Ubuntu Server version isn't very different...
The desktop version just has more packages installed, such as GNOME as the desktop environment and Firefox as the browser.
The desktop version is usually installed using a desktop live medium, with nice graphics, a keyboard, and a mouse.
The server version has no desktop, it’s installed and configured via minimalist CLI dialogs, and SSH is enabled for remote access, for example.
I use the server version on my Raspberry Pi's
but you can also use any other Linux distribution...
As for Ubuntu, it’s worth noting that it needs to be reinstalled regularly, since these are point releases, many packages receive only security updates,
but no completely new versions of, for example, OpenSSL.
I’ve been using Linux myself for 20 years, but since things are constantly changing and new features are introduced, I still have to look things up from time to time...
It would be way too easy if everything stayed the same and you didn't have to constantly deal with new nonsense... _________________ Quickstart guides:
