SensorPanel gauge keep changing from NIC4 to NIC5

[dbk]

I have a couple of sensor panel gauges set to monitor the upload and download speed of the wired network interface. which normally on this system is NIC4 and there none after that. Sometimes I notice that the gauges are not reading and the problem is the wired interface has changed to NIC5, if I reboot NIC5 is gone and the gauges are working again.

Anyone have any ideas why a NIC5 would appear and then go away after a reboot, I have searched the registry for the words NIC4 or NIC5 when it is present but get no hits, 

Latest version of AIDA64, Windows 10 64 bit all updates.

Thanks

You can check the list of available network adapters in both cases on the Network / Windows Network page of AIDA64.  I think the issue may be because one of the network adapters gets removed by Windows for some reason.  Maybe a WiFi adapter that gets disabled and enabled sometimes?

AIDA64 should NOT attach sensors to NIC interface numbers 

AIDA64 actually shouldn't attach/associate the sensors to NICs numbers that change constantly due to power policies and or multiple NICs being enabled & disabled.

Makes much more sense to associate Net device with MAC instead of NIC number. Because I'd would change MAC address on purpose and would not leave OS to decide all the time.

Every time I disable WiFi or some other OS NET related event happens my sensors display the wrong info. At some point I got totally confused. Like below. Two cards basically changing Interface numbers all the time and this is in the end what I did by mistake.

Nobody even bothered to check and response?

I have the same problem on my amd system after a while the nic controllers get switched up the up/down graph doesnt work then, my fix is just change the nic and save till it happens again..

Yep. The same issue here. Only if they would give an option to attach the sensors to a mac addresses instead.
