I've got latest Proxmox running on this box and it's very happy through the onboard NIC. This is a 1GB link.

Had access to a FlexIO V2 10GB NIC that is supposed to be supported. Installed it physically but nothing showing in the BIOS (but wouldn't necessarily expect it to). As far as I can tell through the Proxmox command line the interface isn't being seen. i.e. the flexio isn't working in the PC.
I'm not great with networking command line stuff as it changes from linux to linux these days and the simpler newer versions seem more complex to me but with help...

Few docs available from HP, so wondering whether anyone else has this configuration and got the NIC to work with Proxmox?

I'm trying to avoid backing up the system drive, reinstalling windows just to see if the NIC is/isn't working and then restoring Proxmox to the drive... mainly because I've lent my USB NVME interface to someone so it's several copies on other machines to go through that!

Thanks.
 
I have that NIC in a elitedesk 800 G9 and it works fine with Proxmox. I suspect that NIC is not compatible with the 805 G6
