USB3 NICs node ID change (detection order)

[apux64]

Dear All,

i have a serious Problem with USB3 network adaptors (3 connected). They are initialized and working, but the detection order (device ID, ue0-ue2) is always changing after a reboot!
This results in a misconfiguration of the IP settings (Management, Carp, iSCSI and their VLANs) .

Has anybody a clue how I can avoid this behavior?

The release is 10.2.0.2 Revision 2235 embedded installation.

Thank you in advance

that is the problem with usb. you wont find a solution for that.

using usb3 network adapter is not a good idea. get a 4 port internal nic.
you can get cheap intel ones on ebay.

Hi B0ssmann,

1. other NIC's are not an option in this case (No expantion slots)
2. It's not a Problem of USB, mostly all other OS's of the world, are able to identify USB devices reliable.

Is it a Problem of NAS4Free only or is this behavior a Problem of FreeBSD 10?

Hi All,

i made a test and installed FreeBSD 10.2.0.2 on the Box. I run in the same Problem. ue0 - ue2 are assigned to different NICs after a boot/shudown.
So it's a bug in FreeBSD 10.

I will try to find a solution on the FreeBSD forum.
