I got a generic Marvell/Aquantia AQC107 10GbE card working on Synology DSM 7.2 (Avoton)

I finally (with help from Claude) got a generic Marvell/Aquantia AQC107 based 10GbE NIC (ASUS XG-C100C) working on a Avoton-based Synology running DSM 7.2 and decided to share the module/scripts:

https://github.com/mrk1987/synology-avoton-aqc107

This is for older Avoton units where DSM either refuses to load the card properly or only plays nice with Synology-branded hardware. I tried with some older drivers i found on the subreddit, but there was a kernel mismatch so i decided to recompile it for 3.10.108.

Includes:

• Kernel module
• Install/load scripts
• Persistent loading after reboot

Tested on a DS1817+ with DSM 7.3.2-86009 Update 3.
