January 25, 20251 yr So I just purchased a Dell XYT17 Intel X520-DA2 Dual-Port 10Gb SFP+ PCI-e Full-Profile NIC from Amazon. It shows up in System Devices: IOMMU group 0:[8086:5912] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation HD Graphics 630 (rev 04) IOMMU group 1:[8086:591f] 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v6/7th Gen Core Processor Host Bridge/DRAM Registers (rev 05) IOMMU group 2:[8086:1901] 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6th-10th Gen Core Processor PCIe Controller (x16) (rev 05) [8086:1909] 00:01.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v5/E3-1500 v5/6th Gen Core Processor PCIe Controller (x4) (rev 05) [8086:10f1] 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82598EB 10-Gigabit AF Dual Port Network Connection (rev 01) [8086:10f1] 01:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82598EB 10-Gigabit AF Dual Port Network Connection (rev 01) [1d6a:00b1] 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Aquantia Corp. AQtion AQC100 NBase-T/IEEE 802.3an Ethernet Controller [Atlantic 10G] (rev 02) ... IOMMU group 12:[8086:15b8] 00:1f.6 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V (rev 31) As you can tell, I already have a 1GB NIC on my MB and a 10G that I'm currently using as ETH0. What I am hoping to do is use the three 10G as my LAN for transferring data and my 1G for a fallback. Don't plan on using it at all actually if I can help it. Maybe in case my 10G switches fail? Anyway, I placed it in my motherboard and the motherboard detects it in the bios. No problem. Unraid detects it in System Devices. But for some reason, it doesn't show in Network Settings. ETH0 is the 10G ETH1 is the onboard 1G (and Tailscale as "Interface Extra" eth0 tailscale1) I was hoping to see a ETH2 after booting... but nothing. (I didn't run the other SFP+ port on the new NIC yet since this was just a test.) No network indicator light on the switch or on the back of the NIC either. What am I missing? Looking at System Drivers it appears that I have everything in use if I'm reading this correctly? atlanticMarvell (Aquantia) Corporation(R) Network DriverInusenet/ethernet/aquantia/atlantic e100Intel(R) PRO/100 Network DriverInusenet/ethernet/intel e1000Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network DriverInusenet/ethernet/intel/e1000 e1000eIntel(R) PRO/1000 Network DriverInusenet/ethernet/intel/e1000e ixgbeIntel(R) 10 Gigabit PCI Express Network DriverInusenet/ethernet/intel/ixgbe unraid2-diagnostics-20250124-2249.zip
January 25, 20251 yr Author Note: I noticed that while messing around with it my ETH0 and ETH1 got switched around somehow. But I still have the issue of course.

Thinking maybe a bad card? Thoughts? I tried changing from Auto to Gen3 and Gen2 in the bios. Nothing helped. EDIT: I'm noticing that I don't seem to have a network-rules.cfg file anymore. I deleted it as well as network.cfg files but for some reason network-rules.cfg wasn't generated on boot. unraid2-diagnostics-20250125-1753.zip Edited January 25, 20251 yr by Binary100100
January 25, 20251 yr Author Well... looks like I've stumped the community. I'm going to try a different card. Just ordered this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D1J86R1G?smid=A1R5XKHMUHDQAZ&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp&th=1
January 26, 20251 yr Author Giving this a bit more thought, maybe I have unsupported transceivers? https://a.co/d/1OJ6HOK Should be supported...

Because these are the transceivers: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753BHLQY?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1 It's odd that they don't work on an intel card. I guess I'll try some intel specific modules and give those a try before attempting to replace the card. Unless you think the Mellonox that I just ordered is better? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D1J86R1G vs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014S2EL50
January 26, 20251 yr Community Expert Mellanox are usually not a problem, it's what I use myself, have Connect-X2, 3 and 4, all plug and play

I had read that all Intel cards were supported all that's why I felt confident with it. But it seems that you can only use Intel modules only.
January 27, 20251 yr Author Solution The transceivers were the problem. Since the Mellanox arrived today I swapped the cards and used 10GTeck fiber transceivers. I'll probably keep the Intel one and use it as a spare or on another machine.
