I’ve actually had this exact same problem with a realtek USB ethernet adapter that comes with the Dell M3800.
Sadly, the only thing I have found that works is another adapter. And I’ve even tried compiling a custom fog kernel that has every available network driver enabled. Didn’t work so I went back to the ones that are provided.

One of the dell’s came with a different adapter that works though. It has a SMC LAN7500 chip, that one works and it works without a hitch.

It’s possible that hp might exchange just the adapter for one with that chip if they have one. Sadly the one that works doesn’t actually have any labels or part numbers on it so I can’t find it anywhere on the internet to show you where to get it.

I’ve been working on understanding FOG better since our FOG expert left here for better places, and it’s been going alright - a bit of a bumpy road, but not too bad. However, last night I tried to upload my first image (not the first for our FOG server, but for me, yes) using a Virtual Machine. It was going a bit slower than I expected, but seemed to be working.

And then I came in this morning and saw this:

I also noticed that I couldn’t log in to the FOG server for management or anything else. It appears that either this or something else turned off our server. I was able to turn it back on, but upon logging back in to the web management GUI, I get the following message:

I would appreciate some insight into what kind of course of action I should take, and what I can do to perhaps prevent this from happening again. Thank you!

Thanks for the reply! I’m going to get working on these.
