Myricom 10gb network adapter 10g-pcie-8a-c 40k9055

[jguerra]

I'm going to pick up a couple of these myricom 10gb network adapters on ebay for about $75 each. Just checking here to find out if they are compatible with proxmox.
I've got a dlink DXS-3350SR network switch, it's got a couple of 10g uplink ports. Enough to fool around with anyways.

Oh, I guess I'd have to re-install proxmox if I add a 10G network adapter to the server? or will it pick up addition?

Hi,
don't know if this adapter is supported (but I guess yes), but why you want reinstall pve?? It's not windows!
Insert the Nic and boot the server and you will see additional network-ports (like eth1...) if the driver is allready available (kernel-module).
You can change the nic-naming (e.g. eth2 -> eth0) due changing /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

BTW. This module is for myricom on pve2.1:

Make sure your switch has CX4 ports usable as uplinks before buying... just an FYI (CX4 is kind of rare)

Thanks, I know it's not windows! I'm thankful it's not windows.

Hello.
And what to do if PVE ddid not see the adapter?
I tryed to install driver manualy, but got an error:
make
Makefile:20: *** Aborting the build: Linux kernel /lib/modules/2.6.32-32-pve/build source not found. Stop.


UPD. Problem solved.
1. changed repository to free one.
2. install pve-headers-2.6.32-32-pve
3. after that "make" drivers
