Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port EXP19404PT not working

[nywst]

I got it from eBay, now seems it's not working in VE 7.2
I follow the instructions from:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/igb stable/5.10.2/

I am able to compile and load the driver. But dmesg only shows:

'ip link' only shows onboard NIC port and wifi.

Any ideas? thanks!

Maybe that NIC is just dead on arrival? did you test it with another computer if it works there?
Intel PRO/1000 PT are such old but common used cards that basically every Linux should support them right out of the box. I really would wonder if PVE wouldn't already got drivers for it preinstalled.
