Title: usb nic
Post by: GPete on November 30, 2007, 05:23:24 PM

from the message log:

But when I go to configure the server it says I only have one nic.

SME server has never had any support for USB NICs, and only supports PCI NICs.

Yes, it can be made to work if you are prepared to do some tricky customisation. My statements were true - SME server only supports PCI NICs.

Yes, if you want help with customisation, you should use a different forum. This one is:

  SME Server 7.x

  Discussion of the use of *ONLY* the components and features included on the SME Server 7.x CD.
