Hey
I just installed a new quad nic Intel based card in my Proxmox server.
It works just fine but I am a bit puzzled to see eight new cards inside Proxmox. I can only see the expected four when running `ip a` from console.
Can anyone explain why there are four extra cards inside Proxmox?
This is from `ip a`, the new card have the nics labelled enp5s0f0, enp5s0f1, enp6s0f0, and enp6s0f1. I have redacted the lines with ip, and mac addresses.
This is from inside Proxmox. Here I also see the cards `enp5s0p0`, `enp5s0p1`, `enp6s0p0`, `enp6s0p1`.
Fun thing the cards seen with `ip a` don't have auto activate, I can't enable it either. It also doesn't seem necessary because everything without it. I don't have any problems at all, except that I don't understand why the extra cards are visible inside Proxmox but I can't see them anywhere else in the system.
And look which cards that are marked as `active`, it's the opposite from the auto starting cards.
