One out of two nics showing 1 Year, 4 Months ago  
Could some please help?
I have a intel server R1304BTLSBN with dual nic,s and only one is showing up!
I have used tims repo to update drivers and still have no success.

grep eth /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 e1000e

I have also tried other drivers
ifconfig -a brings it up like this:
__tmp1656682385 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1E:67:1A:xx:xx
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:1736 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:1736 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:638860 (623.8 KiB) TX bytes:638860 (623.8 KiB)

Try this:
Look for a file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts with a name something like __tmp1656682385. It may have ifcfg- in front of it but it should be obvious and rename it to ifcfg-eth1.
Check in the file that it also points to eth1 (from memory it is the "Device" line.
If it is the same NIC type as eth0 then just try an "ifup eth1" and add a line "alias eth1 e1000e" to /etc/modprobe.conf
If it is not the same NIC type can you do a "lspci | grep Eth" and a "uname -r" and post the results.
If the two NICS use the same driver, make sure the ifcfg-ethX files have the MAC address in them. Your MAC address is the HWaddr you have posted from the ifconfig comand.

I seem to be getting this error now after I have copied ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth1 & changed the mac address

Bringing up interface eth1: Device eth1 has different MAC address than expected, ignoring

Temporarily remove the MAC address line from the ifcfg-eth1 then bring the interface up. Then run an "ifconfig" to get the correct MAC address and put it back into the file.
