Off the top of my head I cannot remember what the number is but I will find out for you. The server is currently in service at a school customer of ours and they are on vacation until he end of the month. I do not believe that it is a problem with the NIC itself but chipset recognition that is the problem. The system is running fine on 4.9 Release at the moment if that helps you any. Let me know if you have any other questions. Later: I believe the problem is not the NIC itself but the host to PCI bridge that is not being recognized therefore the system cannot even see the NIC. Currently there is nothing in any of the PCI slots the NIC (2 of them) is integrated into the mother board. I looked up the details on the motherboard and the chipset is a Serverworks GC LE with 2:1 memory interleaving. On the general questions e-mail thread it was suggested to run the 4.9 release instead of 5.1 but we have had the 5.1 running since early August with ZERO problems on a Dell 1650. We are replacing the 1650 with a 1750 and I was being lazy and hoping I could just install the kernel move the config files and be done with it. Not the case to this point.
