hjtech Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I've been trying to install two different versions: 5.0.6 and 6.1.3. None of them have been able to detect any of my NICs: - Intel DX58SO with Intel 82567LF Gigabit and a PCI NIC: Intel i350-T4 - X99-DELUXE with Intel I218V and Intel I211-AT Is this normal? The boot process runs normally and uses an "eth0" for DHCP, however it does not get an IP and finishes with the Tower login prompt. On my switch, none of the "link-up" lights turns on, meaning there is no connection at all, happening with two motherboards and one PCI NIC. Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 More likely a problem with ethernet cable, switch, possibly BIOS setting. Not sure I have ever heard of an Intel NIC not working with unRAID. Quote Link to comment
hjtech Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 More likely a problem with ethernet cable, switch, possibly BIOS setting. Not sure I have ever heard of an Intel NIC not working with unRAID. I've checked BIOS settings on both motherboards and ethernet switch (Netgear GS716T) is working fine with the rest of my equipment. All my wiring is CAT6, but I don't think it has to do with this issue. Quote Link to comment

trurl Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 What about lspci -nn Quote Link to comment
hjtech Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 What about lspci -nn That's showing the Intel NICS: 00:16.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (2) I218-V [8086:15a1] (rev 05) 0a:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Inter Corporation I211 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1539] (rev 03) Would this be a DHCP related problem? What is weird is that there is no link to the switch while booting from unRAID, and ethernet/DHCP works on Windows and Ubuntu on the same PC. Quote Link to comment
hjtech Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 Any possible solution to this? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I still think you have some hardware type problem, cable, port, etc. Doubt if anyone can fix this but you. Quote Link to comment
hjtech Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 I still think you have some hardware type problem, cable, port, etc. Doubt if anyone can fix this but you. The thing is that this is happening with different NICs, cables, ports, motherboards. Every single OS variation I've tried has worked fine with the exact same hardware. Doesn't this isolate the issue to the OS level? Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 You might try searching the forum for posts about your NICs. See search tips in my sig. Quote Link to comment
