October 10, 201312 yr So far, the upgrade to v5 has only resulted in a slower/stuttering server. Figuring this was because my MB (Gigabyte GA-MA780G-UD3H) used a Realtek NIC (8111C, I believe) I ordered a new Intel NIC (EXPI9301CTBLK). Upon installation and disabling of the onboard NIC I'm unable to reach the server. I tried another PCIe slot and had the same result. ifconfig shows no connection. Is there something I need to do to enable the new NIC? syslog.txt
October 10, 201312 yr It should work after disabling the MB port. Can you test the card in another machine?
October 10, 201312 yr Author No PCIe slots in the other machine. The lights on the card flash like they're supposed to, so it looks like the card is communicating/connecting.
October 10, 201312 yr Try booting with a live cd of your choice to see if it works with a different OS.
October 13, 201312 yr Author Okay, the issue appears to be a conflict with one of my other cards (Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8). During bootup the NIC screen wouldn't appear at all, until I unplugged the other card. Hoping they just didn't like being on the same bus together, I moved the Supermicro card from the 4x slot to the 16x slot and now all is functional and speeds seem to be back to v4.7 levels.
