The 2nd NIC on my c226m w asrock motherboard not registering active

[Darin W]

I have been trying to get my 2nd nic on my freenas to work
this is what I see

Code:

pciconf -lv | grep -B3 network

none1@pci0:0:25:0: class=0x020000 card=0x153a1849 chip=0x153a8086 rev=0x05 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'Ethernet Connection I217-LM'
class = network
--
igb0@pci0:4:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x15331849 chip=0x15338086 rev=0x03 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Intel Corporation'
device = 'I210 Gigabit Network Connection'
class = network


The 2nd controller works but cant get the other one to work
Bios says its enabled.
can someone help assist me with this
Thanks

without more info...it looks like you didnt configure it? did you configure the first one, or are you using the autoconfigured settings that should be replaced anyway?

freenas only autoconfigures the first NIC it finds so that you can get the webpage up and configure it correctly yourself
in the freebsd world is is considered really bad form to have 2 NIC's on the same network, and DHCP will only work on one NIC in freenas.

Check dmesg to see if the NIC is seen @ boot. If so, you can use the GUI (Network -> Interfaces) to configure it. Be aware that only one interface can be configured using DHCP from the GUI. Also what are you trying to do with the 2nd interface? Please provide your server hardware and FreeNAS version, so folks can help you better.
