EArroyo Posted November 19, 2021 Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) My onbaord nic just died. I tried to use a TPLink USB 3.0 to Ethernet adapter but it did not work after booting it never shows MAC address. I returned the TPLink and got the UGREEN. Problem is, it will not get IP or DNS from DHCP server. I tried setting static IP but I get "No route to host." And I can't just slap on a PCIe because I am using them all... HORRIBLE USB Nic support.... UGH! BTW my router sees the USB Nic and shows the correct IP address I statically assigned to it. It's the "in-betweens" like routing and gateway stuff that's not allowing me to use my unRAID online. This is getting frustrating.... No dhclient, no systemctl, no nmcli, what can I do here? /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 says RTNETLINK ansers: File exists / dhcpd already running. rc.inet1 restart doesn't work either, always gets a 169.254 ip address. 😤 I just tried a 10/100 USB 2.0 with same results. This does not seem to be hardware related. Can we get USB Nic support fixed? Edited November 19, 2021 by EArroyo Quote

No, can't give up on USB NIC, I don't have PCIe available on machine and both VM's are legit Windows 10 (now Windows 11) and Server 2019 licenses I paid money for and don't want to replace MB and have to purchase licenses again. This is with USB NIC. Is there something I should know about USB NICs and unRAID? I read UGREEN were compatible, but not sure if that is true with unRAID v6? Edited November 20, 2021 by EArroyo Quote

EArroyo Posted November 21, 2021 Author Posted November 21, 2021 (edited) Is there a list of compatible PCI (not PCI-e) adapter? I found 3 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000XKBQU D-Link DGE-530T (unknown M-TEK chipset) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0000TO0BQ StarTech ST1000BT32 (RTL8110SC chipset) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YSNWLAC X-MEDIA XM-NA3500 (RTL8169SC chipset) I am not using any PCI cards, so hopefully I get the 1000 speed... It's an ASUS MSA97 R2.0 motherboard. Haven't even checked specs of bridges... EDIT: Ordered the StarTech, I've had good results with StarTech and RealTek products before... We shall see... BUT this USB 3.0 NIC support really stinks... Edited November 21, 2021 by EArroyo Quote
