RTL8111E NIC Support

[Danxx6]

Hi

I've recently upgraded to a I3 setup running on a ASROCK B75 Pro3 mobo. This mobo as a Realtek RTL8111E NIC however Proxmox doesn't seem to detect this? Is this a supported NIC?

I'm running the latest version of Proxmox, 3.1, recently downloaded from the site.

When I boot the fresh installation up, I get the error eth0 not found

Any assistance would be great

Thanks

Dan

Try installing the binary firmware from Reaktek:
sudo apt-get install pve-firmware

Any other way of doing this? I can't get a connection currently

Then you will have to download the source for the driver from realtek and build it yourself:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads...5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#2

For those of you not being able to compile the driver I have made a deb package available which can be downloaded here:
ftp://ftp.datanom.net/pub/pve/r8168-dkms_8.037.00_all.deb

To install simply run:
apt-get install pve-headers-$(uname -r)
dpkg -i r8168-dkms_8.037.00_all.deb

All realtek r8168/x should now be recognized and available.

is it still good for PVE 5.x?
I have Realtek RTL8111F

@turdor: please try to use the r8169 (intree) driver - most realtek cards work with it (as good as with the 8168)

There is no need to use anything else than the r8169(intree) driver provided you have installed this package: firmware-realtek
This package contains all binary firmware for any realtek nic which the driver loads on-demand. The intree r8169 driver is co-maintained by realtek which also makes all binary firmware available in the firmware package. The r8169 is a boot time on-demand loader for any realtek driver which has a compatible firmware available in the firmware-realtek package. The r8168-dkms package is only needed for old unsupported realtek nics (the package is by the way available upstream in the debian stretch non-free repo)
