How to install ?

Preparation

1. Download drive package form https://github.com/bb-qq/r8152/releases

2. Enable SSH and login to your NAS.

Installation

1. Go to "Package Center"

2. Press "Manual Install"

3. Choose a driver package downloaded

4. [DSM7] The installation will fail the first time. After that, run the following command from the SSH terminal:

// Some code
sudo install -m 4755 -o root -D /var/packages/r8152/target/r8152/spk_su /opt/sbin/spk_su

1. [DSM7] Retry installation. You don't need the above DSM7-specific steps at the next time.

2. Reboot your NAS. This procedure is not usually necessary, but many have reported that a reboot was necessary, so please reboot just in case.

3. Open the driver package from the Package Center and start the driver manually.

Warning: Do not use Safari for this operation.

How to configure

You can configure the IP addresses and MTU of the added NICs from the DSM UI in the same way as the built-in NICs.

Option: Recommend setting MTU to 9000 and SMB protocol version to v3 for better performance.

Ubuntu support

Note:

• The driver is a clone of Realtek linux driver r8152-2.18.1.

• We have tested the driver on Ubuntu 24.04.1.

• In theory, it supports all Linux distribution versions after kernel version 4.10. If it works correctly on other versions during testing, please let me know, and we will add them to the compatibility list.

Compatibility(Tested)

• Ubuntu 24.04

Requirements

• Ubuntu 24.04.01

• Kernel:

• WP-UT5

Quick install

1. Prepare

sudo apt update -y && sudo apt install git gcc make -y

1. Clone the code

git clone https://github.com/wisdpi/wp-ut5_linux.git

1. Change to the directory

cd wp-ut5_linux/

1. Build

sudo depmod -a
sudo make all

1. Config system

sudo update-initramfs -u
sudo cp 50-wput5.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

1. Reboot:

sudo reboot

1. You can check whether the driver is loaded by using following commands.

lsmod | grep r8152
ifconfig -a2

Proxmox VE (PVE) support

With reference to the example of PVE 8.0.3, the operating procedures should be similar for other versions such as PVE 6.x, 7.x, and 8.x. If you encounter any issues during use, please contact us, and we will conduct relevant tests.

Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE) is based on Debian, and the tutorial for it is very similar to the previous one for Ubuntu.
