Thread '[SUCCESS] Motorcomm YT6801 2.5G Ethernet working on Proxmox 9 (Ninkear N150 & others)'

Hi everyone,

Like many of you, I struggled to get the Motorcomm YT6801 2.5G chip working on Proxmox 9 (Debian 13). PCI Passthrough is notoriously unstable on these Intel N-series mini PCs due to D3cold/IOMMU issues.

I finally found a stable solution by installing the driver directly on the Proxmox host using the official Debian Trixie Backports. This allows for a native 2.5G connection via a Linux Bridge (vmbr) with zero stability issues.

I've documented the whole process and created a repository for anyone facing the same '1f0a:6801' identification nightmare.

Solution...
