Drivers for Killer Network Adapter

[panospatacos]

I recently picked up an MSI X99S GAMING 7 motherboard.  Its equipped with a Killer Network adapter.  As I loaded up unraid on this new motherboard, it would not load the network adapter.  Is there any way to get drivers that would load this adapter?

That's clearly the marketing name for it, what you need is the actual name for the networking chipset they used.  Try to boot the system (no drives needed) with a flash with a fresh unRAID prepared on it (with a copy of your key file in config folder), and capture the syslog and the results of lspci and a few of the Console Commands for Networking.  Some example commands -

 

cp /var/log/syslog /boot/syslogmsitest.txt

lspci >/boot/lspci.txt

ethtool -i eth0 >/boot/netdriver.txt

ifconfig >/boot/ifconfig.txt

 

A recent v6 distro is more likely to have up-to-date drivers, so make sure you try a v6 on that flash.

 

You can examine these files yourself, or if you wish, you can zip them all up and attach here for others to examine.
