FOG - Host is not registered! but it is? using usb-c to ethernet
-
Just setup my FOG server (i have done this before in 3 other environments with no issues)
running into an issue with an HP laptop that does not have an ethernet port.
I am using a usbc-ethernet adapter.
I boot to fog using ipxe.efi
Everything works fine. I can fully register a host and assign it an image. However, when I pxe boot again, it does not see the host as “registered” and wants me to register again.I can’t capture images because of this.
Thoughts?

@iamvincepr0 Look to see in the target computer firmware that mac address pass through is enabled. The issue is that ipxe is seeing the built in mac address of the computer, but FOS linux (that does the inventory) is only seeing the mac address of the usb dongle.
Also you will probably want to upgrade your FOS Linux kernel to 5.15.x version (FOG WebUI -> FOG Configuration -> Kernel update This will give you the latest hardware drivers for newly released computer hardware.
