Yet Another Thread About Second NIC Not Showing Up In Network Settings

Featured Replies

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 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?

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.

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

Here you go.
Didn't help.

 Swap pcie slot?

Tried all of that.

Rearranged the cards.
The network indicator lights come on the switch but not the card oddly enough.
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.

Giving this a bit more thought, maybe I have unsupported transceivers?

Should be supported...

It's weird. Because these are the transceivers:

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?

Mellanox are usually not a problem, it's what I use myself, have Connect-X2, 3 and 4, all plug and play

Awesome.

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.

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.
