[SOLVED] Debian 9 and Proxmox VE 5 tg3 problem

[juniper]

Hi,

i have a problem with dhclient and network card on Debian 9 and Proxmox VE 5:

for example interface name eno52 (tg3, Broadcom Limited NetXtreme
BCM5719 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01) :

root@********:~# dhclient eno52 -v

tcpdump during dhclient doesn't show anything?!?

root@*********:~# tcpdump -i eno52
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode

root@*******:~# ip addr show eno52

DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether 3c:a8:2a:e7:87:bf brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

interface eno52 seems to be disconnected but cable is plugged and
working (i tried with other pc)

obviously ethernet cable is connected...
Debian 8 works fine with this hw
Debian 9 doesn't work

Server is ProLiant DL380 Gen9 (719064-B21)

maybe not ?

I don't have this hardware available so cannot so much but as seen from the device, the link is down

when giving the command
ip link show dev eno52

you have here the tring LOWER_UP in the output

some suggestions:
* check if the link led is on (green) and the traffic light is blinking
* to rule out a hardware problem reboot on Debian8 live CD and post the output

of

ip link show dev eth*

for this device

 

[juniper]

...led is on, green and blinking...

i wrote that i use the same cable on my laptop and all works fine!

Same server with debian 8 installed works fine! Same server connected on the same switch...

i have to recover a Debian 8 live cd for post your command...

Probably missing firmware (tg3) from nonfree (firmware-linux-nonfree)

No it works with BCM5720 without a problem also tg3 driver

 

[juniper]

some strange renaming problem... using eno49 all works fine.
