ok I'm one of those horrible people which have an old version of of ClearOS 5.2 out in the wild.
Haven't touched it in ages just worked until I wanted to go mutli-WAN then I tried to chuck another NIC in and go from there. with enough google worked out it'll never work so question will the hardware work with the latest ClearOS or will have have to upgrade some hardware as well ?

lspci looks better now and it's fixed my multiwan and firewall issues as well.
Thanks for explaining the enpxs0 numbering oddly enough the pci-e card is first then the motherboard then the pci card. -

You have the RTL8111/8168/8411 and RTL8169 combination. I stopped providing the drivers in 7.4 because a technical issue virtually required ClearOS to provide them with a very minor tweak or the upgrade of Community and Business from 7.3 to 7.4 risked taking systems off-line. You can install them both with a:
Then reboot.yum install kmod-r816*
If you already have my r8169 driver it is no problem as it is the same as the ClearOS. It is the r8168 driver which ClearOS had to tweak.
Please note this thread as it will affect you. The likelihood is that ClearOS will need to provide the drivers again, but it will give issues booting to older kernels.
NIC naming changed in ClearOS6/Centos6/EL6 but could be overridden. The new naming means the interface name belongs to the slot the card is connected to. If you move slots, names change. Have a read of this article.
I am not sure of the Multiwan issue for the moment, but let's get the NIC's working first. -

ok so used Christmas holidays to take time to rebuild the 5.2 as a 7.4

they are working I can't find the drivers on the link you posted before have they been taken down ? and why are they named so funny enp4s0 ? instead of eth0 etc ?
When i set up dual wan the firewall breaks (well the rule to allow remote webconfig on the 2nd dhcp external nic no longer works) well to me more precise turn the atheros to a pppoe connection and let it fail because I don't have adsl modem plug into it while letting the other nic be external DHCP -

I'd have thought you'd be OK but there is one gotcha (as you had with older versions of ClearOS but you may not have noticed). The r8169 driver is not very good with r8111/r8168 NIC's and can lead to all sorts of issues. You can get round them is you load the kmod-r8168 and the kmod-r8169 driver from here. Even in ClearOS 5.x you should really use the r8168 driver with your r8111/r8168 NIC, but it is not supplied.
The atl1e driver still appears in ClearOS7.x, your processor is 64-bit capable and you appear to have 4GB of RAM.
