I've set up a new install using two 2.5g NICs of the same brand/model, and am having issues with setting them up. Both NICs were installed when the machine was started up, but only one was connected during the install.

The GUI is only showing 1 NIC:

It looks like the system is seeing the second link, but calling both NICs eno1

Code:

How can I reconfigure it to use the second NIC?
