r.e. Joe's note, "... The SuperMicro C2SEE motherboard network interface stopped working too... :-( "  ==>  I'm very glad I didn't see this update until this issue had been discovered.    My server is tucked in a difficult-to-access corner, but I have to pull it out & open it to access the flash drive.    Fortunately, I can update now without the need to do that 

 

I'm surprised, however, that there was a problem with the SuperMicro board -- I thought that was Tom's "standard" UnRAID platform !!  (That's the main reason I used that board when I built my server !!)

 

Tom -- what board are you using these days for your test platform?

Intel NIC or bust.
