A system with an identical card reports this: for BUSID in $(/sbin/lspci | awk '{ IGNORECASE=1 } /net/ { print $1 }'); do /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -m; /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -n; done 00:19.0 "Ethernet controller" "Intel Corporation" "82567V-2 Gigabit Network Connection" "Intel Corporation" "Device 0028" 00:19.0 0200: 8086:10ce 01:00.0 "Ethernet controller" "Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd."

The 4 port serial controller on the second host does not have an equivalent card installed on the host that no longer recognizes eth1. The integrated NI is eth0 for both hosts and this i/f is integrated on the Intel motherboard. The motherboards are the same model in both hosts. Both system are configured as KVM hosts. Both are running CentOS-6.3 -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.
