Modified /root/pve_source for Mini PC router

[siebenish]

Hi,

I've purchased a HUNSN mini PC like this one (amazon link) and installed Proxmox VE 7 on it and it seems to run fine so far. After trying to find a way of passing-through a M.2 Wifi/BT card (like this one, amazon link) to a debian VM, and not finding one, I reached out to the seller which sent me the info for applying this command below:

do you need to pve core display passthrough?Default vt-d is ok. If not work, may you try this script as below,

wget -q -O /root/pve_source 'https://bbs.x86pi.cn/file/topic/2023-01-02/file/79bf8f916aca457d9c05df5864018dd7b2.zip' && chmod +x /root/pve_source && /root/./pve_source

Hoping it will help.

I also found this discussion board where content like this is posted: https://bbs.x86pi.cn/?tagId=40163133124000

I further explained what I needed to do and I'm still waiting for a reply.

However, my concern with this is to understand if doing this is somewhat risky, security-wise. Can anyone comment on this?

Also, this is the disclaimer that prompts when running the command (selected N for now):

Yes, of course it is. I would NEVER run anything like this on my machine! I'd rather buy new hardware, if this would be a hardware problem.

Maybe you can describe what your actual problem is, so that we can help you and provide instructions so that you can help yourself.

 

[siebenish]

Thanks for the input. Regarding that script, I was hoping someone could know something more specific out of that, but in any case it is fishy.

I'm trying to pass the Wi-fi and Bluetooth PCI devices to a VM with OPNsense and getting this error below; VT-d is enabled in the BIOS but I can't find any specific IOMMU option to enable.



In any case, I haven't gone through every suggestion in the documentation yet.

Maybe start with enabling IOMMU (on the software side) as explained in the Proxmox manual?
