Description and Notes

The Innodisk EGPL-T101 is a 10 GbE M.2 adapter in a tiny 2280 form factor. It has an Aquantia chip inside, and is well supported under Linux.

To get it to work with Pi OS, you need to compile a custom Linux kernel following Raspberry Pi’s instructions, and select the Aquantia drivers with make menuconfig before building:

Device Drivers
  > Network device support
    > PHY Device support and infrastructure
      > Aquantia PHYs

Device Drivers
  > Network device support
    > Ethernet driver support
      > aQuantia devices
        > aQuantia AQtion(tm) Support

This card gets around 6 Gbps up and down when using PCIe Gen 3 speeds. To enable that speed on a Pi 5, edit /boot/firmware/config.txt and add:

dtparam=pciex1_gen=3

Then reboot your Pi.
