Mikrotik RB2004 PCI card show no interfaces in Proxmox

[Happy]

Hello!

First to say: I am no linux expert. I have a setup with the Mikrotik RB2004 PCI card in an MSI mother board with an AMD CPU. I can see the interfaces of the card with "lspci" but they not shown in proxmox. I did anything I found in the net: Without success. What can I do?

it is not proxmox related. try to boot the new xubuntu to see if it's detected. card is nice,but not much support.
or simply install a vm win-server and passthrough the card to it.

 

[jamesthetechie]

this card has been around forever, it should have native linux kernel driver in 3.17 +, its confirmed working in debian 12 and ubuntu 20.04, not sure why its not showing as a network device.

can you provide the output of:
ip link show
lshw -class network

if it shows up there, you might just need to manually make the config file.

Maybe because this

[ 1342.774935] r8169 0000:07:00.0: invalid VPD tag 0x00 (size 0) at offset 0; assume missing optional EEPROM

 

[jamesthetechie]

ohhhh, yeah that would do it.

with the invalid VPD tag this reads to me as a firmware failure. i would check if the PCIe card has a firmware update, but i dont think this is on proxmox, but to rule it out, booting to ubuntu desktop and seeing if you get the same results would be a valid troubleshooting step.

 

[Happy]

I made a support ticket at mikrotik. The card has the latest firmware. I spent a lot of time to make this card run... :-(

 

[Happy]

Problem is solved. It is an Level 8 problem It was the mainboard GIGABYTE. System is now working

 

[masagun]

tankyu nice info.. tanks for this discusion..
