At the risk of repeating a bit of what Frank said I'll put in my 2 cents as a TrueNAS user. No intention to be snarky on my side, just pointing a few things out. 1) Welcome to the world of "not Gentoo". What I think you are describing as a 'binary thing' is, for the most part, the way we work out here. 2) I disagree with your description of how "it's done" in Gentoo Land. You made a choice to put your network driver in the kernel. You could have built it as a module and loaded that module. Both would have worked. 3) Out here in Not Gentoo Land (NGL) they supply you with 100's of modules and generally installers figure out which ones to load. My main NGL machine has literally over 100 modules loaded. I don't know what they do (for the most part) and mostly I don't care. 4) While I cannot tell you if the card you ordered has a Linux or FreeBSD driver, I can point out that on the left hand side of your TrueNAS dashboard, accessible in your browser hopefully, there is a pulldown called 'Network'. It should hopefully show you the current network interface which in my case is called 're0'. On the right you might, hopefully possibly see a big blue button called "ADD". Consider giving that button a push after you've installed your new card. I believe you will get this figured out very soon. Continue exploring the NGL world.
