Sorry, again. Was just asking if r8153_ecm was included and if it was not included I just wrote a suggestion. Everythin is fine now!

Including r8153_ecm? If not, perhaps a note for those who have similar issues maybe?

Yes, cdc_mbim, just shortened it in writing here... Removing it now. From version 6.12.4 to 6.12.6. I realise that was not the clearest way of writing that. The first diagnostics file was from after installing the driver to show that things were installed correctly, the second file is after the upgrade to 6.12.6. The modprobe thing, is what I mentioned earlier of seeing the message "modprobe FATAL: module r8152 is in use" during bootup of the unraid server. Followed shortly by the 2 minute stop at the udev portion of boot (forget the exact words). Figured it was worth mentioning. I did not type in a command that you guys did tell me to, just to be clear. Im no linux guru, but this isn't my first time with a CLI. Ran the command blacklisting r8153_ecm. Rebooted, things were fine, and then ran the upgrade tool for Unraid 6.12.6. And it seems the r8153_ecm blacklist did it! Everything booted as it should, and I can remotely access the server! Thanks you so much for the help! Sorry if I wasn't super clear. Anyhow, I included the diagnostics of the confirmed working configuration in case you guys wanted to pick it apart a bit more. tower-diagnostics-20231210-1948.zip

Reinstalled, and no error tab in the plugin page (on 6.12.4 that is). Added cdc_ether (and mbim as requested by @JorgeB). Then I reboot without updating to .6. No issues with either nics. No plugin error tab. Shares mount on my pc, etc. Diagnostics (-1603.zip) included. Then I go to update to .6 using the tool in the tools page. I wait until that is finished, then unraid asks for me to wait until certain background tasks are finished. Which I do. I notice it mentions updating/downloading the driver again. Checked the plugin page, no error still. Go to reboot, and from there on, the errors start. Modprobe FATAL.. as mentioned earlier, stuck for a minute or 2. Diagnostics from that (-1701.zip) included. Hope this helps clear up things. tower-diagnostics-20231210-1603.zip tower-diagnostics-20231210-1701.zip

Sry, did the test runs in a bit of a rush, but I forgot to mention that I tried a clean install of 6.12.6 without the old config, just to check. I had disconnected the intel nic's cable and unraid autoconfigured itself to use the usb nic as a active backup. That worked fine, but as soon as I tried to move the usb nic to eth0 connection was lost and the behavior mentioned earlier (pause during boot etc,) happened. Just tried installing the driver, checked that it autocreated the one modprobe.d file, then ran the command you wrote. Seeing the same issue still. Also tried mbim block earlier, same result. But below is the diagnostics for a test run with the driver installed and with the default ncm file and the ether file. Sorry if my writing wasn't clear btw. tower-diagnostics-20231209-1526.zip

So, with the blocklist and with driver. no go. With this one I spotted "modprobe FATAL: module r8152 is in use" during boot. With the blocklist (minus ether) and without driver. Doesn't work either. The modprobe message was spotted again. Diagnostics from the attempt with parts of the blocklist (minus ether) and without the driver included. tower-diagnostics-20231209-1043.zip

@ich777 @JorgeB Already tried without driver first. Ended up on this thread trying to figure out what's wrong and tried the driver and the new version of the driver when that came out about a day after that. Then I asked you guys. Thanks for the quick response btw, testing the new blacklist now @jinlife

Hi, seems like this blacklist fix with the newest driver version (for RTL8156) does not work for the 8153 (in satechi usb-c to rj45 1gbe) in unraid 6.12.5+ Setup (network) Intel 2.5gig from NAS to PC Realtek 1gig from NAS to router/lan The usb nic works if it is in eth1 using active backup. But as soon as it's moved to eth0, since I want that to be the internet access point, it stops working. Using the GUI boot I can see that the MAC address does not show up for eth0. Also, when the 8153 usb nic is moved to eth0 Unraid starts to hang for a minute or 2 during boot (triggering udev events... dont recall exact words). This is only after 6.12.5. Rolling back to .4 fixes it. tower-diagnostics-20231208-1417.zip
