[[Solved] Unraid 6.9.2 - Intel i225-V networking not recognized.]

OK, everybody, this is a nuclear bomb.  Get to work solving my problem or we all go boom!  NOW!

 

Heheh.

 

I was afraid that would be the answer.  I can confirm that the "Platinum - USB-C to Ethernet Adapter" from Best Buy works like a charm with Unraid.  $20.00 USD.  (This motherboard has 3 PCIe slots and I have all three filled, 2 with LSI 9211s and the last with a graphics card.)

 

I'll mark as solved, pending kernel 5.15.

[[Solved] Unraid 6.9.2 - Intel i225-V networking not recognized.]

Motherboard:  Gigabyte Z690 AORUS PRO (F5 BIOS applied)

Processor:  Intel i7-12700K

Memory:  Corsair Dominator 32GB DDR5 5200

External GPU:  MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB

Onboard NIC:  Intel I225

Unraid Version:  6.9.2

 

Not overclocking.

Not interested in using the integrated GPU.

Problem occurs with old Unraid USB drive in safe mode and normal mode. 

Problem occurs with a new Unraid USB drive as well, in safe mode and normal mode.

 

NIC is confirmed enabled in BIOS. 

Confirmed cabling and switch are working by installing and running Windows 11.

 

lshw -class network reports the network interface is unclaimed (no driver has been loaded).

lspci reports the controller as present (Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller I225-V [8086:15f3] (rev 03))

 

 

Everything I've read seems to indicate that 6.9.2 should have the driver for the NIC - it was added in RC2 from what I gathered?

 

I've attached the diagnostics.  I'd appreciate any guidance.

[Failed Drives]

Brand:  Seagate

Model:  Barracuda ST8000DM004 (from STEB8000100)

Age:  ~3 months (purchased 12/21/2018)

Warranty:  No, but only because I shucked it from an external drive case.

Short Description:  Worked great for a month in my ReadyNAS, then began to have issues writing to disk (for about a month), then failed.  No SMART report, but I do plan on using the Seagate tools to see if I can recover it.
