Hello,
I'd like to enhance my NUC7i5 with an USB3.1 NIC.
DMESG output:
[ 5.388234] usb 4-1: new SuperSpeed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
[ 5.409104] usb 4-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=8153
[ 5.409105] usb 4-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=6
[ 5.409106] usb 4-1: Product: USB 10/100/1000 LAN
[ 5.409107] usb 4-1: Manufacturer: Realtek
[ 5.409107] usb 4-1: SerialNumber: 000001

The NIC isn't shown in the proxmox webinterface, not listed with ip a command nor ipconfig.
Any idea how to add this NIC now?
 
You may need to install/load the kernel module and firmware.
 
It basically works now. Found the following entries in dmesg:
[ 6.720454] r8152 4-1:1.0 eth0: v1.09.9
[ 6.744179] r8152 4-1:1.0 enx00e04c680304: renamed from eth0

After adding enx00e04c680304 to interfaces configuration this NIC is now usable. How can I rename enx00e04c680304 to eno2 as this should be the pve compliant definition?

Hi Elasc and All

I am new to Proxmox and I am not that familiar with Linux, I added a USB NIC and it appears in dmesg I think I just need to add it to the interfaces configuration like you said

What comands do I use to add this usb NIC, because I still cannot see it on the GUI

Also any documentation that can help/teach the Proxmox CLI would be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance
