Hello.

Just reporting that I installed a second 2.5 Gbe ethernet port using this card:

no driver necessary - detected and working right away.

Idle power draw up from: 3,2 to 4 W. (nvme ssd + ethernet card installed)

running: Armbian 23.02.2 Jammy with Linux 5.10.110-rockchip-rk3588

Thanks for mentioning it. No use case for now, but maybe going to use it for in my cluster as a direct connection between my Rock 5B’s.
