Hey,

 

I have an onboard lan interface that I believe is Intel on my Asus motherboard.

I recently got a Intel 2.5gbit NIC and as far as I can see it is blinking when the cable is plugged in.

 

Besides that I can't see it on system devices and can't select it under network settings. 

There are several topics here saying you need to change it under interface rules but there's nothing of sort under network settings.

 

I'm attaching the diagnostics here to find out what's going on.

This NIC is not being detected, this is a not a software issue, try a different PCIe slot if available

It isn't?

 

I solved it by disabling my onboard network adapter.

 

It worked and I still don't have the interface rules.

I've tried creating network-rules.cfg on /boot/config but this file is deleted at every boot.

 

As I've seen in other threads this is a long lasting bug of unraid.

The interface rules are only created when more than one ethernet interface are present in your system.

Not a bug.

 

I'm on Unraid 6.12.13 and I'm having the same issue. I added a new PCIe network card with 2 NICs. They both show up in Unraid. I can configure them and they both work. The built-in NIC is eth0, and the network card is eth1 and eth2. Despite this the Network Rules tab does not show up.

 

I manually added the file /boot/config/network-rules.cfg with the correct configs. This forced the Network Rules tab to show and I can reassign NICs to different names. But of course this is not permanent and as soon as I reboot the file is deleted and the Network Rules tab is gone again.

 

I tried adding the /config/network-rules.cfg file directly to the flash drive but that also gets deleted  when inserting the USB flash back into the server and booting up again.

 

I deleted /config/network.cfg directly from the flash drive to reset the network. That did rest the current configuration settings and I can see all 3 NICs but still no Network Rules tab.

 

I disabled the onboard NIC from the bios. Doing so automatically moved the network card first NIC to eth0 and second NIC to eth1. Even Though there are 2 NICs in the machine I still don't see the Network Rules tab.

 

Notes: Not sure if this is helpful but the Unraid USB flash was in a different server 2 years ago.

 

For now I'll keep the built in NIC disabled until the new version of Unraid (7) is released and I'll try again.

 

I welcome any tips. Thanks

did you ever figure this out?  I'm having similar problem except I didn't add a new NIC.  I just upgraded from 6.12.10 to 6.12.14 and after rebooting to apply the update I lost network...

No but I did find a way around it while I wait for a fix. I had to enable  PCIe ACS Override within the VM settings to split up the NICs into different IOMMU groups. Then within System Devices selected the checkbox for the NIC I want to VFIO isolate. This is not ideal but it works for now. Hope this helps.
