I'm trying to use a network card on my server, I've tried some configurations but without success, would anyone have any guidance on this?

-network card does not appear in IP link

Proxmox: 7.4-3

I tried this and it didn't work:
$modprobe -r ixgbe
$modprobe ixgbe allow_unsupported_sft=1

$ echo "options ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/ixgbe.conf
$depmod -a
$update-initramfs -u

Output:

lspci -v :

Hi!
Did you found any solution?
I have the similar issue with Intel X540-AT2 (2 x 10Gigabit ports). I just installed the interface.

Hi everyone,

I may have a similar issue : having installed Proxmox recently, I can't get network connectivity from inside the VM.

Proxmox itself can be updated (done today), I have also add a second NIC that can be used to access the webGui.

Having tried different configurations (bridged, routed), there is no ipv4 link in the VM - I can see an ipv6 one though - and I wonder if this is not a hw/driver compatibility issue as in dmesg, the type of the NIC is also r8152. The second NIC has the same problem, its type is ax881789_178a.

Previously, on the same machine, I could use these NICs with Linux distributions such as Debian, and also with FreeBSD-based systems.

Any thoughts please ? Your help would be greatly appreciated !

Alex
