[SOLVED] Issues automatically adding detected interfaces to NOS VM configuration (VyOS, vSRX)

Hi all!

I'm building networking home labs in a newly-installed three-node Proxmox VE 7.4 cluster using VyOS and vSRX images for the VMs. Everything seems to work except for the detection of a VM's network adapters during NOS installation.

I originally thought it was a VyOS-only issue, but even with the vSRXs, the network interfaces aren't being picked up during installation and added to the initial router config files like they should. I have direct confirmation from the VyOS team that it should behave that way. The resulting VMs still have fully-functional interfaces otherwise, but the configuration files must be manually updated with all the related settings for each VM.

I've been defaulting to VirtIO-based interfaces, but neither the E1000 or vmxnet3 types work, either.

I could have swore that this used to work fine, but I've tried on two completely separate clusters (one a HPE rack server, and the other a 3-node tower setup). Anyone else observe the same behavior and/or know what might be the issue?
