Sophos UTM not detecting NIC

Abdul Haq Sheikh over 3 years ago

I am using Sophos UTM 9.707-5 Home Edition. I added TP Link NIC but Sophos UTM is not detecting NIC Card. Realtek and Broadcom NIC working fine.

Adding network cards into an existing install does not work. You would have to reinstall the UTM software then restore from your backup.

USB devices are treated differently. The NICs are actual hardware devices that are not 'temporary' unlike USB. There are even a lot of USB devices that are not detected with UTM. This forum has a lot of discussions about this, and adding a NIC to UTM has always been a reinstall of the UTM, as far back as I can remember and using UTM when it was Astaro.

Salaam Abdul and welcome to the UTM Community!

Amodin gave you the answer. It's possible that your NIC is not supported. See USB Compatibility List.
