I have just installed XikeStor 2.5Gb PCIe Network Card with Intel I226-V Chip, 2.5GBase-T Network Adapter NIC, PCIe 3.1 X1, after upgrading my TrueNAS system from 24.4.2.6 to 25.10.1
I used a monitor and keyboard to remove the settings from the existing nic on the motherboard and applied them to the new pci nic. After applying them I rebooted and at the end when the menu appears on the monitor, I checked the settings were still ok and then tried to load or open the TrueNAS webpage or gui. It could not connect. I’ve now just noticed that there are no leds flashing either in or outside the case.
The ip address is not listed in my routers connections.
I can’t ping the ip address on the new nic, but the strange thing is that when I do lspci in the shell it is listed:
2:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller I226-V (rev 04)
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82574L Gigabit Network Connection
Can anyone tell what the problem is.
Just a thought, the new nic is for pci 3.1 x1, and my old supermicro mother board has 3.0/2.0 x4.
Thanks
