Does anyone have the driver for the x540-10g-2t please? i can't get any intel drivers working.

You can download drivers from Intel. Drivers will come in vXX that contains drivers for a lot of NICs. If your in Win10 then you will need to install drivers. Win11 installs drivers automatically but these are not the latest ones. For ESXi7u3, then you can download drivers from VMware download, other section you will drivers for the controller.

can you use this to connect to the internet?

Yes, but Unless you have a very fast internet connection, its wasted. richie

Regarding if this is similar to synology, the webpage and datasheet of the synology e10g18-t2 does not provide information on what chipset is used?

ipolex 10GbE PCI Express Network Card Intel X540-T2 Chip, 10 Gigabit Network Adaptor PCI-E Ethernet LAN Card, Low Profile Dual RJ45 Ports. INTEL X540-T2 Chipset. Works in Qnap NAS with X8 PCIe port.

will this work in a synology nas like the e10g18-t2: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/b07flgks4g/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=a3p5rokl5a1ole&psc=1

We recommend to check the official support documents of the device e10g18-t2, if it shows that the network card chip Intel X540 is supported, you can use.

l'ho installata su pfsense per collegarlo ad uno switch mikrotik in 10G. Il sistema l'ha visto senza nessun problema e le performance sono ottime. La consiglio per la sua facilità d'uso e per il prezzo.

Installed on Harvester OS. It even support SR-IOV, meaning I can pass-through each network interface to VM. Also, tested on Win10, had to download drivers manually from Intel website, works great.
