[SOLVED] Missing Network Card

loading · May 4, 2022

I have 2 PCIE 10 gig network cards installed in my server as listed below. But I do not see a way to use this card in the gui or in /etc/network/interfaces
Steps I have taken
Rebooted
uninstall
reinstall
followed the following threads
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/network-card-not-detect.34838/
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/network-device-not-active-in-proxmox-v6-1-7.71444/

I do know this card was working on this system about a week ago. I rebuilt the system and reinstalled the OS (I replaced the boot drives for proxmox to drives that are reliable)
From here I do not know where to go. Any help would be amazing.

hi,

the GUI parses the /etc/network/interfaces file.

in the ip link output you've posted, you can see multiple interfaces.
the ones that are loading the ixgbe kernel module (from your lspci output) are the 10G links.

you can do something like dmesg | grep ixgbe or dmesg | grep igb and you will see their corresponding names for the network interfaces in the outputs.

afterwards to use them you need to edit the /etc/network/interfaces file and add the interface names in there.

Thank you for your reply and you nailed half the issue. When I could see it I then received an error of unsupported transceiver. Fixed that and now it works. Thank you!
