Issue with 82574L PCI Network Card

Hey all,
I'm the proud owner of a B550 F Strix Gaming board with a faulty I225-V Intel chip.
I've purchased a PCI Intel 82574L Gigabit card and installed it into a PCI slot on the board as to make the faulty onboard chip redundant.

It's worth noting that I'm very newish to all this so I definitely could be missing something simple.
All the prompts I've run have been sourced from other places.

The network device isn't showing in the GUI. It actually popped up once during my tinkering and disappeared again after a reboot. It was allocated as enp6s0 during that time by the system. I tried creating a regular bridge during this time but the network device disappeared after a reboot.

Currently I only have the one faulty but operational network device currently named enp10s0 with IP 192.168.1.118 / 24
I am trying to connect the 2nd device (82574L) to the same network; as 192.168.1.119 / 24.

I'm running
Linux vershq1 5.13.19-2-pve #1 SMP PVE 5.13.19-4 (Mon, 29 Nov 2021 12:10:09 +0100) x86_64 GNU/Linux

Things I've tried:
Disabling onboard ethernet via the bios.
Flashed the latest bios version 2423 for the Asus Strix B550 F Gaming

Code:

Sorry for all the above! I thought I'd better post what I had found.
Just looking to get this NIC working so I don't need to use the onboard.
Thanks!

Do you have the latest firmware installed for the NIC?
 
Do you have the latest firmware installed for the NIC?
No I don't - I wasn't aware that you could upgrade the firmware on the chip to be honest. Is it possible to easily upgrade the firmware through proxmox shell? Or will I need to do that on a separate machine most likely?
Thanks!
 
Try this driver:
https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...ethernet-network-connections-under-linux.html

Bash:
apt install pve-headers-$(uname -r)
cd /root/
wget https://downloadmirror.intel.com/15817/eng/e1000e-3.8.4.tar.gz
tar zxf e1000e-3.8.4.tar.gz
cd e1000e-3.8.4.tar.gz/src/
make install
reboot
I ran the above and got the following output:

I also tried this from earlier by copying the file to a USB drive:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1344156/ubuntu-20-04-2-and-onboard-intel-i219-v

Code:
tar zxf e1000e-3.8.4.tar.gz
cd e1000e-3.8.4/src/
apt install make
apt install gcc
make install
modprobe e1000e insmod e1000e
reboot

At the make install command it spat out:
"Kernel header files not in any of the expected locations. Install the appropriate kernel development package, e.g kernel-devel"
I tried installing the pve-headers with apt install pve-headers, but it still spits out the kernel-devel error.
Any ideas on what this all means? Thanks for your help!

Seems like the NVM of your network card is corrupted.
May you can try to install this network adapter in a computer with windows 7 or 10, install latest driver from intel website and try if it is working the lan connection...
Usually the windows intel package driver update also the firmware and you will reborn the card...

Okay I think Ive sussed out!
I kept moving the PCI Intel Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter 82574L from port to port in the system, it registered one time only per pci port switch and disappeared after a reboot in that new pci port. Moving it restarts the process.

I put them in my Windows 10 PC and downloaded these tools.

https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...t-utility-preboot-images-and-efi-drivers.html

Ran PowerShell as admin and used the upgrade function within the Intel Package above. After upgrading them to the latest version, they were installed back in the Proxmox system.
I set the PCI Ports in the bios to Gen 1 and 1x Speed for all PCI ports besides the main 16x1 port.

I have rebooted it successfully 6 times so far and it seems to be persistent.

Hopefully that helps anyone having issues with that particular Intel NIC.

Thanks for all your help ! :)
