      • Solved Minor

    Having an issue with latest stable [6.10.3] with regards to onboard Dual LAN with Intel® X540 10GBase-T Ethernet Controller network ports.

     

    When this happens, the server needs to be rebooted in order to recover the network connectivity however I do have access to the server locally if additional commands need to be ran against it prior to reboot. As a workaround, I have installed an Intel X520 SFP+ network card until this can be resolved.

     

    This issue has occurred twice. Both diagnostic files are attached.

     

    Here is the snippet from each syslog:

    I see other distros reporting the same issue.

    Please retest with Unraid v6.11.0-rc4, it has newer network drivers.
