Hold down the "Win+R" keys, type cmd, and type ssh "your Synology id"@"your Synology address" Enter the Synology password, enter "sudo -i", enter the password again, turn on the Synology root mode.
④ After entering SSH, modify "vi /etc.defaults/synoinfo.conf" and "vi /etc/synoinfo.conf" respectively, pull down, find maxlanport, and press i on the keyboard to change 2 To 4, then press esc, and then directly enter ":wq" to save.
⑤ Go to Synology Suite Center to manually install the downloaded spk file. After the installation is complete, insert the network adapter and restart Synology, you will see this adapter on the network device.
Method-3（Qnap QTS<5.0, QTS>5.0 Drive-free. PS:This network adapter cannot be used if the QNAP processor is ARM）
① First, download the QNAP 8156B DRIVER
② Copy "usbnet.ko" and "r8152.ko" to qnap (take "/share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/data/" as an example)
③ Then open and run "autorun.sh" in the hardware
④ After ssh into qnap, enter "mount $(/sbin/hal_app --get_boot_pd port_id=0)6 /tmp/config" Enter "vi /tmp/config/autorun.sh" Add the following content to the "autorun.sh" file to execute automatically after booting:
/sbin/rmmod r8152
/sbin/rmmod usbnet
sleep 3
/sbin/insmod /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/data/usbnet.ko
/sbin/insmod /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/data/r8152.ko
⑤ Then modify the file attributes: "chmod +x /tmp/config/autorun.sh" Enter " umount /tmp/config"
Insert the network adapter into the USB3.0 interface of QNAP, restart it, and a new network adapter will appear in the network settings after restarting, just set it up.
Method-4（ESXI 6.5.0-ESXI 7.0.2）
① First, download the ESXI driver 6.5.0 / 6.7.0 / 7.0.0 / 7.0.1 / 7.0.2./ WinSCP / MobaXterm

③ Next, open the tool WinSCP, find the driver to be installed on the left, log in to ESXI on the right, find the tmp folder, and upload the driver to the tmp folder.
④ Next, open the MobaXterm tool, click "Session" in the upper left corner, select SSH, enter the host address and user name, and click "OK"
⑤ Enter the ESXi password in the dialog box to log in. After logging in, use the "ls" command to check whether the previously uploaded driver package is in it, enter "cd /tmp" to enter the tmp folder, and then enter the command "esxcli software vib install- v /tmp/The name of the driver installation package", press Enter to install, and after a period of time, Successfuly pops up, which means the installation is successful.
⑥Finally, enter reboot to restart ESXi, and insert the 2.5G network adapter in advance, after restarting, open the browser to log in to ESXi, and see that the inserted 2.5G network adapter is enabled on the network interface.
