Hi CentralWare

That would be these:

--- Code: ---CONFIG_IGB=m
CONFIG_IGB_HWMON=y
CONFIG_IGBVF=m
--- End code ---


--- Quote --- ... Didn't we already have an e1000 driver built at one point?  Or is that in the kernel these days? ...

Yes, that would be these:

--- Code: ---CONFIG_E1000=m
CONFIG_E1000E=m
CONFIG_E1000E_HWTS=y
--- End code ---

CentralWare:
Thank you, my friend!  I saw a module for E100 (10-baseT and 100-baseT I'd assume) but no mention from TCE via keywords or provides as to E1000 or IGB (14x64) so I thought maybe it became part of the Core or something.  I'll dig a little deeper when the time comes or go see where the sorter lives these days and reverse-eyeball it. :)

Hi CentralWare
They are part of the base under:

--- Code: ---/lib/modules/$KERNEL/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/
--- End code ---

Dear all,
thanks alot for all your replies...I missed the extended instructions book. I started reading through it...

About the hardware of the TS-451 (yes, CentralWare, the link you provided is dead-on)
the original OS is stored on a standard 500MB USB2 DOM, connected to the mainboard with the usual USB2 mainboard-pinheaders. So my first action was to take out the board, attach a normal female USB2 connector to it so that I can use any USB stick as new location to install a new OS. This way I can really play around while the original OS is safe. Additionally I ran clonezilla, saw the internal 'harddrive' and made an image of it. So I can really play around and test to my hearts content - while still keeping the original USB DOM safe. Currently I have a 64GB USB stick connected for trials.

I can start the live-DVD from Lubuntu 24.04 without problems and it tells me the CPU is indeed the Intel Celeron J1800 and I can get a resolution of 1920x1080 without problems (using the HDMI output on a huge TV).
"ip addr show" shows me two physical NICs (enp3s0 and enp4s0) and "ethtool -i enp3s0" gives:
driver: igb (so, just as Rich pointed out, a driver exists) version: 6.8.0-31-generic
But when trying to install LUbuntu (on the USB stick), it cannot install the bootloader ("the installation command <pre>grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=ubuntu --force</pre> returned error code 1")...weird
On the other side Tiny Core Linux boots from the same USB stick without problem...well, my plan was to install Tiny Core anyways...

The next days I will try to install the "Core" on the USB stick without internet access and try to manually add the few packages that I need..

this recent commentary on botnets specifically mentions qnap ts-* series devices

https://arstechnica.com/security/2024/09/massive-china-state-iot-botnet-went-undetected-for-four-years-until-now/3/

and that referenced a 2016 article which mentioned telnet and busybox

https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/10/brace-yourselves-source-code-powering-potent-iot-ddoses-just-went-public/

fortunately, tcl users are less likely to leave their devices in an exploitable _default_ state...

but/however, the vast overwhelming unwashed masses cannot be bothered/troubled to properly operate _mostly_anything_
(just yesterday a tv show spotlighted the massive increase in _distracted_driving_ accidents, especially vehicle-versus-bicyclists-and-pedestrians)

and speaking of danger/peril, Edward Snowden is ABSOLUTELY correct:

as always, your mileage may vary
