I recently bought a new machine to run proxmox after a previous motherboard crashed
My first problem started when proxmox would not detect the onboard NIC to start the installation. This is related to the intel v129 network interface having some checksum issue which can only be fixed by patching the kernel which i think is out of my depth.
I then tried to use USB to ethernet adapter I had. This picked up correctly during the installation and received an IP etc.
The problem comes in after installation where there is no connectivity to or from proxmox.
I did a "systemctl status networking" and the error shows as:
In the later version of proxmox is shows that the vmbr0 interface did not start due to bridge port enx6c198fb17204 not being up (I tried 2 different versions of install)
No "enx6c198fb17204" is the name proxmox gave to the USB to ethernet interface during the installation.
if i do "vi /etc/network/interfaces" I see the following:
if I do "dmesg | grep eth" or "dmesg | grep enx" (for the name of the interface) both return no results.
if I do "ip a" it only shows the lo and vmbr0 interfaces but nothing for the enx6c198fb17204 interface
I have read some of the forum referring to the interfaces being renamed but I dont see any evidence of that
The USB ethernet device is still present if i do "lsusb" (It is a D-Link DUB-E1000) and i have actually tested another USB ethernet device with the exact same results (albeit different interface name)
I am completely stumped and would really appreciate any assistance. I cant even go and put a PCI ethernet card into the device as it has no PCI slots
