So I've installed Proxmox on a little Zotac Mini PC and it is great. Im running pfSense on top for now and will run a few other VMs in the future.
I like it so much Im moving my HP Gen8 Microserver to Proxmox in the future, currently I runt CentOS7 with KVM for my VM host.
The problem being I am trying to install some wireless drivers for the Zotac box. I should be able to run "apt-get update && apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi" however it mentions a load of packages that were "automatically" installed and should be removed, and also that proxmox-ve and pve-firmware will be removed. The full copypasta below.
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
apparmor apt-transport-https bridge-utils ceph-common corosync-pve criu
cstream dtach faketime glusterfs-client glusterfs-common hdparm ifenslave
ipset javascript-common libaio1 libanyevent-http-perl libanyevent-perl

lxc-pve lxcfs netcat6 novnc-pve numactl pve-cluster pve-container pve-docs
pve-firewall pve-ha-manager pve-libspice-server1 pve-manager pve-qemu-kvm
python-blinker python-ceph python-cffi python-cryptography python-flask
python-ipaddr python-itsdangerous python-jinja2 python-markupsafe
python-ndg-httpsclient python-openssl python-ply python-protobuf
python-pyasn1 python-pycparser python-pyinotify python-requests
python-urllib3 python-werkzeug qemu-server rrdcached rsync smartmontools
socat spiceterm sqlite3 uidmap vncterm
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.
The following packages will be REMOVED:
proxmox-ve pve-firmware
The following NEW packages will be installed:
firmware-iwlwifi
Why does it do this? Is there another way to install without removing proxmox? I read on another thread that it will do it if installing a package that will overwrite a package PVE uses but I dont see this as being the case?

) so you should actually not need the firmware-iwlwifi package..
