RTS522A Realtek card reader not working for me on kernel 5.11
lspci -v | grep -A 5 unassigned 04:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTS522A PCI Express Card Reader (rev 01) Subsystem: Lenovo RTS522A PCI Express Card Reader Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 255 Memory at fd500000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=4K] Capabilities: Kernel modules: rtsx_pci I also tried installing a fixed driver of the broken one that is available on the Realtek website. However, even though I'm pretty sure the installation of that one worked, lsmod | grep rts rts5229 294912 0 the card reader still uses the rtsx_pci driver instead of this one, even after running rmod rtsx_pci which now tells me the module is not even loaded (why does the lspci output tell me then the card reader is using this module)? So now I'm either looking for a way to get this card reader to use this new driver I installed, a fix of the rtsx_pci driver, or someone to point me in an entirely different direction, because I barely understand how most of this works. Please ask away for any other outputs you need me to provide.

Unstable and slow Realtek RTL8156B 2.5GbE USB-C dongle on vanilla F38
The network adapter performance is underwhelming and it keeps disconnecting every 2-3 min. It is connected in a usb-c port on a Thinkpad T480s. I found a post online from someone having this issue on Ubuntu. I tried adding the udev file rules for Realtek adapters mentionned in his post without success.

Prioritize one NIC over another with Talos?
Those udev rules came from this file: https://github.com/bb-qq/r8152/blob/master/50-usb-realtek-net.rules (lines 12 and 13, with 8 and 9 subbed in.)

2x2.5gb Networks Cards to 4x1gb Synology over SMB Multichannel 460+mb/sec
I saw a post from someone recently who used these USB adapters and this driver to add 2.5 Gbe capability to a DS1821+, though it should work with most current Synology devices.
-
DS918+ - stuck on 100Mbps on Lan 1 port. Is it possible to use the Lan 2 ethernet port by itself?
Thanks for the suggestion, I wasn't aware of this option. I have since found this page https://github.com/bb-qq/r8152 and as it's looking like the nic on my NAS is in distress I am looking into ordering a usb type-a CableCreation 2.5G Ethernet to USB Adapter for AU$30

You will need to install additional drivers.

DSM 7.2 is out
Another way is to get a 2.5gbe usb adapter and plug it into the USB port on the Synology. There's some software on GitHub that will make this work. I opted to go with an official Synology card. I already have a relatively complex network set up. I don't want to chance a sudden incompatibility and lose a weekend trying to figure out what went wrong.
- How has your DSM 7.2 RC experience been so far?
- Is there 2.5gbe USB ethernet adapter that works with the DS923+?
- How to set USB 2.5GbE adapter as the default NIC on a DS920+?
- Can't get SMB3 Multichannel to work correctly
