NIC Problems with AT5NM10T-I Mainboard

Hello together

I bought a new motherboard ASUS AT5NM10T-I with an onboard NIC Chip Realtek RTL8111E PCIe GBit LAN and have no function on it.

I tested with Open-E DSS V6 Lite (Ver. 5626). -> Console message: eth0 (server failure) no cable. Switch and Ethernet cable is ok. Both static and DHCP doesn’t function. On other OS (FreeNAS …) the NIC forwards frames/packets.

I also tested with the latest version 5845 without success


No driver integrated in this version for this Realtek Chip?


Best regards Torsten

Hope this information (under console) are helpful:

Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06)



On another Board:

Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 03)

Revision 03 functions

We have build-in drivers for Realtek NICs but they don't work well the RTL8111 which isn't actually an server designed NIC.
Give us some time and we will try to prepare something for you.

Hello To-P,
thx a lot!

Please take a look at the following KB article:

Hi To-P,
thx so much for your speedy assistance but ... i cannot reach the GUI over network (cause i have no NIC functionality) !!! :confused:

Is there another way to implement the *.upd file?

You can add an additional NIC to reach the webgui and then apply the small update. After that you can reboot the server and remove the NIC.
