What Supermicro system or motherboard is this? I have many, so I can confirm/deny what you're seeing on other systems. > Where should I start debugging this ? Start with: 1) the BIOS -- you can enable/disable NICs there. If both show enabled, try Load Setup Defaults to make sure there's no CMOS corruption (sometimes this happens when upgrading BIOSes, and may have happened at the factory -- who knows). 2) Jumpers on the motherboard -- many Supermicro boards have actual jumpers on the board to disable either NICs, in addition to the BIOS option.
