So I have a SuperMicro X8dah+F with a iffy IPMI, When I boot Ubuntu it is fine, DOS can see the adaptors, Windows Loads fine. 

 

If i try with unraid nothing. I thought I may be and issue with the specific Lan card so I disabled the onboard and installed a Lan card and I'm having the same issues still. 

 

I've attached my Diagnostics, you can see quite clearly in the LSPCI that it sees the adaptor but just does not bring it on-line.

Very strange, the NICs are detected, but no driver is loaded:

 

84:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82575EB Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10a7] (rev 02)
    Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc 82575EB Gigabit Network Connection [15d9:10a7]
84:00.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82575EB Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10a7] (rev 02)
    Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc 82575EB Gigabit Network Connection [15d9:10a7]

And that driver is included in unRAID for sure, could you try redoing your flash drive, preferably with a different release like v6.5.0

I've tried 3 different USB keys and the past, present and future releases... ( Sorry should have said ) 

 

I've also tried statically assigning a IP and nope

Without a loaded driver that won't work, but no idea what the problem could be, sorry.

The only thing I can suggest is that the vendor ID 15d9 is for Super Micro (just as lspci reports) and not Intel. Maybe that's why the driver isn't loading. Can it be forced with modprobe -f ?

That's normal for the subsystem, e.g., these are from a X9SCL:

 

00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection (Lewisville) [8086:1502] (rev 05)
    Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection (Lewisville) [15d9:1502]
    Kernel driver in use: e1000e
    Kernel modules: e1000e

 

The OP's NIC should load the IGD driver:
