Title: Interface Lost on Reboot
Post by: M4DM4NZ on August 07, 2017, 08:11:25 am

Hey guys,

Did a clean install of 17.7 on my Intel NUC on the weekend, fresh install with no plugins/mods enabled,
Got my LAN interface setup as re01, and WAN setup as ue0.

The WAN interface is a USB to Ethernet dongle(plug) whatever, and it all works fine. Dont have any rules setup yet,  its pretty much a clean install.

Problem is, if i reboot or cold boot the system, the WAN interface disappears!
When i log back in to the GUI, the WAN interface is just "unassigned" and i have to add it again to get it working.

I've tried about 4 different brands of USB to Ethernet interfaces, and they all work prefect, until I reboot.

Can anyone explain whats happening here?

Cheers.

The USB device shows up too late for the boot to see it. Try the os-boot-delay plugin which should avoid this.


Cheers,
Franco
