djglenn Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 (edited) Hi, I am a bit of a n00b with unRaid / Linux still. I have had intermittent issues with video dropping in Kodi & Plex and a few posts suggested that it could be caused by the onboard Realtek LAN controller. I have just bought and installed a PCI-E Intel Gigabit NIC and it doesn't seem to work straight out of the box. Do I need to install drivers somewhere? Not sure how to do that on unRaid ...

Zonediver Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) Which Intel NIC is it? Model? You can try to deactivate the Onboard NIC at the BIOS and see, if unraid will use the new Intel NIC. Edited June 17, 2018 by Zonediver 1 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 Most Intel NICs will work out of the box, you may need to disable your onboard NIC so the new one becomes eth0, or you could change the order on network settings. If you still can't use it post your diagnostics (Tools -> Diagnostics), this will confirm if it's being detected and a driver loaded. 1 Quote Link to comment
djglenn Posted June 17, 2018 Author Share Posted June 17, 2018 Thanks. Disabling the onboard + enabling some Intel options has done the trick. Hopefully now the issues go away as everything pointing to the Realtek controller. Thanks Quote Link to comment
