December 3, 20232 yr Hi Everyone, I recently updated to 6.12.5 and my network stopped working. I have the following USB 2.5GB NIC https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B093FB9QWB/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1, and was using the RTL8156(B) USB Drivers from user @jinlife. When starting up it would say that the eth0 interface was not found. I posted in the support thread and saw a recommendation to uninstall, reboot and then reinstall the driver and some code was updated. After rebooting the issue persisted even after a couple of reboots. I collected diagnostic logs and @jinlife pointed out in the system.log there was the following line: Dec 2 16:38:07 MojoRyzen kernel: igb 0000:08:00.0 eth123: renamed from eth0 It was suggested that I copy a clean network.cfg from the installation media after renaming the existing one and I did that as well as replaced the network-rules.cfg and rebooted. It made no difference, but I collected a second set of logs just in case. I imagine if I can figure out what is renaming the interface and stop it, it will likely resolve the issue. The only thing I added software wise were the updates to 6.12.5 and 6.12.6 after .5 didn't help and .6 was released. I have attached both sets of diagnostic logs if anyone can take a look. TIA! diagnostics-20231202-1639.zip diagnostics-20231202-2158.zip
December 3, 20232 yr Community Expert No link is being detected on either NIC, just to be clear is the problem only with the Realtek or is there a cable connected to the Intel NIC?

December 3, 20232 yr Community Expert Suggest posting in the plugin support thread, in case it's an issue with it.

The author recommended that I rename the network.cfg and copy a new one from the install media. I tried that and the device still gets renamed during boot.

Thanks for your response. At this point the plugin author doesn't think it's their plugin and you believe it is. Is there a list of compatible 2.5GB USB NIC's with native unRAID support listed anywhere?
December 4, 20232 yr Community Expert I believe I have one of those NICs somewhere, getting pretty late here now but tomorrow morning I'll do some tests.

December 4, 20232 yr Community Expert Solution I'm seeing the same issue, looks like a plugin problem, I suggest keeping an eye on the support thread thread for an update.

December 4, 20232 yr Community Expert See the plugin thread for a manual fix, but the plugin should be updated soon to include it.
