Networking weirdness - ETH0 is there but no NIC

[Tomo82]

Hi All,

I've got a weird issue that I can't resolve, hope someone can point me in the right direction.
 

TL;DR: My networking is messed up - how do I reset it? I tried deleting the network.cfg - but ETH0 remains (with no NIC) and is messed up.

 

What I would like: Just use the add-in card ports for Unraid, VMs, Docker etc.

 

Unraid Version: 6.12.3

 

History:

I have an onboard NIC and a dual port PCIe add in card. I added a PCIe VDSL modem card that I wanted to passthrough to a VM. Networking settings said that there were ETH0,1,2,3. MACs were messed up but number of NICs was correct.
I had problems with passing through this card, so I removed it and also disabled the onboard NIC, but ETH0 remains and doesn't seem refer to a physical NIC. I would just like ETH0 & ETH1 to refer to the physical ports on the add in NIC card.

 

Thanks for any help 🙂

Delete /boot/config/network.cfg and network-rules.cfg, reboot and post new diags.

Thanks Jorge, deleting network-rules.cfg fixed the weird behaviour.
