June 22, 20206 yr Hello friends! Coming to you for help after a couple days of troubleshooting. I am building a new NAS/HTPC using the Asus TUF Gaming B550m Plus motherboard with the most recent BIOS. Everything is detected correctly, however it is not able to connect to the network even though it is direct connected to the router through Ethernet. Because of this, I can't get a registration key to be able to set up my drives and all. In my troubleshooting, I have tried using the stable and beta versions of Unraid (6.8.3 & 6.9.0), I have tried both DHCP and setting a static IP, and I have tried putting the Unraid flash drive in different USB slots. None of this made any changes. I then tried booting into a Ubuntu disc, and found I was not able to connect to the network there either. From what I can tell, I don't think Ubuntu nor Unraid has the driver for the Realtek RTL8125B controller that the motherboard uses. I am able to find a Linux driver on Realtek's website here. Do you know if this is the problem? If so, is there a way to add the driver to Unraid? If this isn't the problem, do you have any ideas on what it could be? Thank you! tommy-diagnostics-20190101-0127.zip
June 22, 20206 yr Community Expert Unraid has the driver, though IIRC it's not working correctly on v6.8, it should work on v6.9-beta22, please post diags from the beta.
June 22, 20206 yr Author tower-diagnostics-20190102-1629.zip Alright here are the diagnostics for version v6.9-beta22, thank you for helping!
June 22, 20206 yr Community Expert Well, it appears I was wrong, it does look like a driver issue, you might need to wait for an upcoming release to use that NIC, best bet for now would be an ad-don NIC.
June 22, 20206 yr Author Dang, thanks for looking into that. Do you know if I'm able to send a request to Limetech for it to be fixed in the next release? Also in the mean time, do you know of a cheap 1Gb nic that would work with Unraid? Thanks again!
June 23, 20206 yr Having the same issue with the same motherboard, really hope this issue could be fixed in next release Edited June 23, 20206 yr by Lancer

June 23, 20206 yr the bad news: https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg658594.html the good news: the vendor supplied r8125 drivers does build correctly against 5.7 kernel, but we are testing. Realtek has always been a problem with Linux, I'd avoid them if possible.
June 23, 20206 yr I am having the same issue with this motherboard as well. Is there anything I can do to help you test the new drivers? I'm a noob, but I will help if I can.
June 28, 20206 yr Update: I just installed Unraid 6.9 Beta 22, and the Realtek RTL8125B onboard Ethernet controller still does not work on my Asus TUF Gaming B550 Plus motherboard.

I'm troubleshooting an onboard NIC issue as well. I'd like to try and see if the beta has my NIC drivers. Where did you find the beta download? I've been searching for a couple hours to no avail

June 29, 20206 yr Go to "Tools" | "Update OS" in the GUI, and in the branch section select "Next" and you will see the beta version available. (Only recommended for testing purposes) That’s what I thought. Unfortunately I can’t get my system working on the new hardware cause of the network card issue. Was hoping there was a download somewhere so I could make a usb Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
June 29, 20206 yr Tools - Update OS - Branch Next https://forums.unraid.net/bug-reports/prereleases/unraid-os-version-690-beta22-available-r955/ Thx but was hoping for a download I could put on a USB for initial setup for a new system. I’m stuck getting my new build up and running because it doesn’t recognize the onboard intel nic. The nic works cause the asrock uefi bios successfully updated its firmware. I was also successful booting from a Ubuntu 20.04 usb drive and surf the web.Gonna go pick up a pcie nic card in the morning and try that. Very frustrating....Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
June 29, 20206 yr With the Unraid USB Flash Creator you can select the last beta : (I know my USB drive is not the best choice, it was just a test with the first one on hand )

Also running 6.8.3 and tired upgrading to 6.9 beta but it still didn't work. My chipset has Intel's I225-V ethernet controller which Unraid supposedly supports yet no NIC is found.

Maybe remove the s3.sleep plugin - that might be interfering.

July 4, 20206 yr Im not sure if there is a difference between the RTL8125B and the RTL8125BG, but I have the same issue on the Z490 AORUS ELITE. z490-diagnostics-20200704-0035.zip
