A helper script is available now -> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/r...fs/heads/main/tools/pve/nic-offloading-fix.sh

Run the following as root.
Code: 
bash -c "$(curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rcastley/ProxmoxVED/refs/heads/main/tools/pve/nic-offloading-fix.sh)"

Note : Use only one method - script of manual update of post-up command in /etc/network/interfaces

After a long period of silence, the damn error reappears. Physically disconnecting (pulling the power cord) brings the affected hosts back on track. Has anyone tried solving the problem by automatically restarting the network after x minutes of no connection (pinging every x minutes) to another, always-reachable host?
I'm currently trying your great script and will report back.

Now that's what I call an IP KVM with a decent price. Have you tried it yet?
Thanks for the tip.

Wouldn't buying a proper functioning USB NIC have been cheaper?

Even though it creeps me out, such a "solution" is increasingly becoming my focus. It's simply annoying to squash software problems with hardware. Unfortunately, Intel doesn't seem to be able to get the problems of its bread-and-butter network chip under control, or at least they simply don't care.

For me is the USB dongle certainly not the solution. Most USB device drivers are full of bugs. People just don't pay much attention to it as it's just pull/plug in back and it works again thing.

Not yet. It arrived just today and I had not even time to unbox. I did not buy the pin out adapter yet. I may in the future if needed.
 
In my opinion, USB network cards are more of an additional problem than a solution. I've already ordered your idea. I'm curious to see what works. I'll report back. But it's annoying to have to mess around like this.
