I am interested in purchasing a Thunderbolt to SFP adapter and I found this QNAP QNA-T310G1S <https://www.qnap.com/en-us/product/qna-tb-10gbe> available from B&H for $169 <https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1452479-REG/qnap_qna_t310g1s_single_port_thunderbolt3_to.html>. Does anyone know if this works under Ubuntu? I found that there is a Linux driver available for the AQC107 part, so I think that is likely that it will work, but wanted to see if anyone had tried it.

It seems that Linux kernel 4.11 added support for the AQC107. https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Linux-4.11-Networking Ubuntu 18.04 and higher has kernel 4.15 so you should be fine. Our lab has been using this converter. https://www.sonnettech.com/product/twin10g.html Even though they don't list Linux support it works fine after I compiled the Intel driver manually. TLDR; It should work. Use Ubuntu 18+. If it does not work then please update this thread and I can maybe help troubleshoot.

Dear Ali, I recently tried the Sonnet Solo 10G Ethernet to Thunderbolt 3 Adapter under Linux 18.04LTS and 18.10. This adapter has the AQC107S chip. In principle they work out of the box. You can set an MTU size larger than 1500 in Ubuntu (either via netplan or the old configuration). However, this MTU size is not honored in my case: UHD complains that the MTU size is too small. I compiled the latest AQC107 driver and applied it --> no change in MTU. Personally I don’t know yet, where the actual problem lies. We had to change our setup and are now using a card with the Intel chip again.

Maybe the old driver is getting loaded by the kernel on boot? I had problems when first using ixgbe (Intel 10 Gbe) driver because I was lazy about unloading the stock (outdated) driver that came with the Linux distro. rmmod <driver> modprobe <driver> Can't think of what the issue could be with your Sonnet Solo if the driver you compiled is loaded as intended. Regardless for people looking at this thread, I have not had any problems with Intel x520-DA2 or x550 based products. Intel is also very good at keeping their open source drivers up to date (cough BROADCOM cough).
