Weird network adapter issues - light on, interface down

[hikipoklica]

Hey all!

I bought a LogiLink PCIe NIC to add to my server since the on board one doesn't support WoL and I kinda need it badly. The card is detected in BIOS and in unRAID (has two ports, therefore identifies as eth1 and eth2 next to the on board eth0) and when I plug in the cable the lights on both the card and the switch light up to confirm gigabit connection. However, on the GUI in that case all three network interfaces are shown as "interface down". I tried with both ports and got the same result. The eth0 is working normally when plugged in. When I do ifconfig I get only eth0 (showing no connection) also when the cable is plugged into the PCIe NIC. I feel like I am getting stuck on something simple but I can't figure out what... Any ideas?

 

Thanks a lot for the help!

 

Cheers!

If you want to use the add on NIC as the main one you need to change it to eth0 (Settings -> Network Settings -> Interface Rules), if not it's need to have an IP address set (dhcp or static) to not show port down.

Thanks a lot! I finally got around doing this and now it works. However, the wake-on-LAN still doesn't work, although I followed all the steps of the guide on the unraid wiki... I am really running out of ideas here and I desperately need it to work...

Sorry, can't really help with that.
