@EBA Welcome to the Rockstor community.

Thanks for the report. So to clarify you already have an existing NIC manually configured and this issue occurred when you attempted to manually configure a second NIC. Could you describe your desired end state, NIC config wise, as well if your would.

Also could you confirm that the same still happens after upgrading to the latest testing release, i.e. if you subscribe to the testing channel you should then be offered a much newer (but still old in comparison to stable) version of Rockstor (our testing channel is awaiting plans to change it away from rpm support). But I’m pretty sure we haven’t made any changes in either channel to this code since 3.9.1-0 but worth a try just in case.

Thanks again for the report and once we have the exact steps to reproduce this maybe you would like to open a GitHub issue so that we can get this one line up ready to fix.
