I can’t get Realtek 8201 LAN interfaces to work with MikroTik. In the routers PCI resources, it shows up as an NVIDIA nForce Ethernet Controller. I think the kernel module is nvnet and should be included in the 2.4 kernel, but I might be wrong about that.
The MikroTik device compatibility list (http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.8/guide/driverlist.content) doesn’t list the chip/card as supported - so I suppose there’s no way to get it to work right now…
Just that there IS a linux driver (even in the standard distros/kernel) doesn’t necessarily mean that it is supported in RouterOS. And you can’t load “normal” linux device drivers in RouterOS…
There is an option in the MikroTik driver settings were you can add and “copy-from” and I guess that you can upload a driver with ftp and then run this command.
Have anyone did that and where do you get the driver from?
no, this is not possible in RouterOS.
Okey, I got this option when I press the TAB key, so I thought it was possible.
These options are used for different purposes. See http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.8/guide/console.frameset
I usually use it to import the license key.
copy-from is a generic command in all menus. in driver it doesn’t have any real purpose.
You are really fast, I saw my mistake and you responded before I had a chance to correct it. ![]()
how do you import the license key with copy-from ? license can be imported with
[normis@demo.mt.lv] > system license import file-name=
if from a file or simply by pasting it into telnet session.
Exactly, I upload the key by ftp and then run this command.
