January 3, 20179 yr On my new setup (ASUS M2N SLI Deluxe) there are 2 Onboard Gigabit LAN ports. Only the primary one is recognized (eth0) the second one does not show up. No eth1 is available. When I disable eth0 in the BIOS, the machine is unreachable. Could this be related to me installing a Windows VM and setting up bridging earlier today? I since disabled bridging and switched on bonding, but this only shows eth0 available. # sudo lshw -C network *-network:0 description: Ethernet interface physical id: 1 logical name: virbr0 serial: 52:54:00:b2:94:b6 capabilities: ethernet physical configuration: broadcast=yes driver=bridge driverversion=2.3 firmware=N/A ip=192.168.122.1 link=no multicast=yes *-network:1 description: Ethernet interface physical id: 2 logical name: bond0 serial: 00:1d:60:ca:31:e1 size: 1Gbit/s capabilities: ethernet physical configuration: autonegotiation=off broadcast=yes driver=bonding driverver sion=3.7.1 duplex=full firmware=2 ip=192.168.2.30 link=yes master=yes multicast= yes speed=1Gbit/s *-network:2 DISABLED description: Ethernet interface physical id: 3 logical name: virbr0-nic serial: 52:54:00:b2:94:b6 size: 10Mbit/s capabilities: ethernet physical configuration: autonegotiation=off broadcast=yes driver=tun driverversion =1.6 duplex=full link=no multicast=yes port=twisted pair speed=10Mbit/s *-network:3 DISABLED description: Ethernet interface physical id: 4 logical name: gretap0 capabilities: ethernet physical configuration: broadcast=yes multicast=yes Any help is much appreciated. tower-diagnostics-20170103-1326.zip
January 3, 20179 yr I've just register to answer about this too. I have the same problem, I feel like I've tried everything and I still can't get it done.
January 3, 20179 yr Community Expert You both need to post up your diagnostics file. 'Tools' >>> 'Diagnostics'
January 3, 20179 yr Community Expert From what I can see, the second port was never found. I think you need to post exactly what MB you are using and the manufacturer and model number of the the NIC chip used on that board.

January 3, 20179 yr Community Expert I have of of those boards, IIRC it was my first unRAID board, a quick check and both NICs are detected, looks like your 2nd NIC is disable, check your bios: Yours: 00:08.0 Bridge [0680]: NVIDIA Corporation MCP55 Ethernet [10de:0373] (rev a3) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc.

January 3, 20179 yr Author wow, what are the odds of that! Sadly, they are both enabled. So... should I check with a native windows install if the interfaces work?
January 3, 20179 yr Community Expert It won't work, it's not only unRAID not detecting it, it's not detect by Linux, like if it wasn't there, if it's enable in the bios it's not working.
January 3, 20179 yr Community Expert Try disabling the port and then re-enable. (Sometimes the weirdest things work...) BTW, your link is to the wrong model of MB. (If the link is correct, then the MB has only one port!) But I assume that you have two RJ-45 sockets on the back or you would not be expecting to have two LAN ports.
January 3, 20179 yr Author Hey Frank, alright will try that. corrected the link above, thanks! Might also try a bios update.
January 3, 20179 yr I have 2 similar boards with the same chipsets, MX570 and 590 based. I found the 2 onboard ports to be rather unreliable. I did find a very old syslog showing it finding both ports and using the forcedeth module, but shortly after I gave up on them and added a NIC card. Sometime later, after being hit on the network by a nearby lightning strike, all 3 ports were non-working, so added an Intel NIC. For some time, that's the best advice we have been giving users, to disable the onboard ports and add an Intel card, 1 or 2 or 4 ports as needed. Basically, if the port is enabled in the BIOS, but the kernel can't see it, then it's not working. You can always check the lspci report for it. On these boards, the onboard ports are at 0000:00:08.0 and 0000:00:09.0, at least on my board they are, and they should be the same on yours.
January 3, 20179 yr Author updated the bios, disabled the 2nd port, restarted, enabled it again, restarted. still not showing up. thats so weird.
