Hello,

 

Noob here. I'm trying to get Unraid up and running for the first time. I started with the latest 5.0 beta 14 and everything started out working great -- I had no problem connecting to the server with the web interface. But since the beta package doesn't come with all the usual add ons (and because I'm a noob) I decided to go with 4.7. For some reason, 4.7 will not connect with my onboard ethernet controller. I have two flash drives (one with 4.7 and the other with 5.0). Going back and forth between the two produces the same results: 4.7 will not connect, but 5.0 will.

 

Here is what I get when I run ifconfig in 4.7:

 

Link encap: Ethernet HWaddr 1c:6f:65:d2:06:2b

BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric :1

RX packets: 0 errors, etc . . .

TC packets: 0 errors, etc . . .

collisions: 0 txqueuelen:1000

RX bytes: 0 (0.0 B) TX bytes: 0 (0.0 B)

Interrupt: 34 Bas address:0x8000

 

Obviously no IP address.

 

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-H67A-UD3H-B3

CPU: Intel G620

2 GB RAM

 

Were the ethernet drivers updated with 5.0, and if so, how do I update them for a 4.7 install?

 

Thanks!

The problem I think is the Realtek 8111E chip on the motherboard, which isn't supported in 4.7.

Well, there you go. Thanks for that info. 

 

 

You're welcome.

Search the forum for 8111E. Many problem are reported.

Here's a strange one:

 

I installed a Netgear PCI NIC, but absentmindedly plugged into the onboard ethernet port again. Now it works, even though I'm not plugged into the PCI NIC.

 

Strange.
