11.3 fresh install with no Web interface showing up and no network on H470 Phantom Gaming 4 using Intel® I219V

[jbesclapez]

Hello there,

I am totally new at FreeNas, and it is my first post.
I downloaded v11.3 and installed it on my new wannabe server.
It is a H470 Phantom Gaming 4 so it is using an old Intel® I219V chipset for network.
I seems that Intel is good with FreeNas but I have no luck.
I also have a wifi card Archer T6E and it is also not showing. I am not surprised for this one...

So... if i look at other posts, I think this Intel I219V should be working correct? so why is nothing recognised? Do I miss something or should i go to v11.2 or even beta v12?

Thanks

From console, select 9 to get to the shell. Run dmesg | grep igb and dmesg | grep em to see if the NIC driver loaded. If either one did, then run ifconfig -a to see if the OS sees the NIC under igb0 or em0. If it does, the card just needs to have an address installed.

Thanks Sam for your help! Unfortunately it seems that it is not loading

How about lspci -v | grep Ethernet?

Oh... There I see a etherner controller i219-V

Unfortunately, it appears your NIC is too old for either the igb or em driver to recognize.

Great. The motherboard is on the latest processor of 2020! But it's too old! Damned network chipsets....

If you have a PCI-E slot open, you could try getting an Intel PRO/1000 PCI-E Gigabit NIC. They're fairly cheap on Amazon, and should be supported by the em driver.
