Networking issues on new install

[quincy__]

I am brand new to Proxmox, so I am sure that is part of the problem. I am setting it up for a home lab on brand new Lenovo ThinkStation P620. The install seemed to go OK, and during the install, I chose my wireless interface (I know now that probably wont work). After I found the install was missing packages (wpasupplicant, isc-dhcp-client) to make the wireless connection,

I then tried the wired connection. I set up /etc/network/interfaces to enable one of the four interfaces on my Intel I350 network adapter. The first thing I noticed was that there was no link light. I looked at ethtool enp66s0f0 and I had no driver listed and the speed was Unknown! I tried manually loading the driver (igb), but there was no change.

Not sure what to do from here...

Hey,

which NIC do you plan to use, the wireless one or a wired one? IIRC wpasupplicant requires a little more configuration than just installing it, but generally you really want a wired connection for the PVE host. A side note, PVE is meant to operate with a static IP, at least with one that does not change.

Could you post the output of ip a and cat /etc/network/interfaces? When making changes to /etc/network/interfaces you have to run ifreload -a. ifreload -avvv will yell at you if something is wrong in the interfaces file, can be handy at times.
