Hi,

I have just installed Proxmox 5.1-41 onto a HP DL380 G7 Server. All seems to have gone well however the unit has 4 NIC's and I am I'm missing two of the NIC's.

I have done the following:

Code:
root@pve:/tmp# lspci | grep Ethernet
03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Limited NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20)
03:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Limited NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 20)
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Limited NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet
04:00.1 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Limited NetXtreme II BCM5709 Gigabit Ethernet


Code:
root@pve:/tmp# dmesg | grep eth
[    0.124593] ACPI Error: Method parse/execution failed \_SB._OSC, AE_AML_BUFFER_LIMIT (20170531/psparse-550)
[    1.967437] bnx2 0000:03:00.0 eth0: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709 1000Base-T (C0) PCI Express found at mem f8000000, IRQ 16, node addr 78:e7:d1:e6:8c:bc
[    1.968010] bnx2 0000:03:00.1 eth1: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709 1000Base-T (C0) PCI Express found at mem f6000000, IRQ 17, node addr 78:e7:d1:e6:8c:be
[    1.999247] bnx2 0000:03:00.0 enp3s0f0: renamed from eth0
[    2.068587] bnx2 0000:03:00.1 enp3s0f1: renamed from eth1

Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting them working?

I have just rebooted the server and seen messages saying that the firmware has not loaded. I have tried installing debian firmware :

Code:
root@pve:/firmware# dpkg -i firmware-bnx2x_20161130-3_all.deb
dpkg: regarding firmware-bnx2x_20161130-3_all.deb containing firmware-bnx2x:
 pve-firmware conflicts with firmware-bnx2x
  firmware-bnx2x (version 20161130-3) is to be installed.

dpkg: error processing archive firmware-bnx2x_20161130-3_all.deb (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:
 firmware-bnx2x_20161130-3_all.deb
