Pretty much that.  I've been stuck here for 4 hours, pulled every PCI-E card out of this computer and removed every hard drive and it's still stuck in that eth0 doesn't actually exist.  

 

I have an IPMI card, but it has MAC E8:9C:25:6E:E5:04. 

 

Motherboard: ASUS W680 IPMI and I cannot tell where this 3rd ipconfig is coming from.  

 

```

Adding in eth2 from ipconfig -a

Delete /boot/config/network-rules.cfg and reboot.

This is the result after that reboot.  Since I found earlier threads.  

Unraid certainly seems to be detecting an eth0 device which is connected via USB.    Are you sure you do not have such a device (possibly built into a hub or dock)?

Similar issue happens with Dell servers when using the IPMI NIC, see if there's a similar setting:

This seems to be all correct and the behavior of it. The USB id Points to the BMC being the culprit and enabling out of band management.
