iRST & iRSTe drivers - Intel Rapid Storage Technology & Intel Rapid Storage Technology Enterprise

Just found a nice forum post that keeps track of Intel's RST/RSTe drivers. I'm a bit sceptical since I can't find the latest version on Intel.com but thought I'd post the link here so I can go back later and have a look. It might be legit, it might not.

How to configure multiple VLANs on QNAP TS-869U

It's unbelievable that QNAP still doesn't support multiple VLANs on a single bond0 interface via GUI when they now just released the QTS v4.1.0 NAS Operation System for QNAP. The underlying Linux OS (QTS) does support it, and there should at least not be any problems with Intel chipsets. Some are reporting problems with Marvell.. but I haven't tried. I wanted to use the QNAP as a iSCSI storage for my LAB using a second interface while having full redundancy and get max bandwith (2x1GbE) for my ESXi hosts, and I didn't want that interface routed.

This CLI "hack" will at configure the QNAP for a second VLAN interface that will be persistent during reboots. It's not been verified that it works after an upgrade of the firmware, but I presumed it will. To get this to work I presume you already have the following working: Network onfigured...
