Hello, I installed a 4-port PCIe network card on my R420 server. The issue is as follows: after installing it physically and completely out of the box, only one of the 4 ports was able to light up the LEDs when plugging in a network cable.
I spoke with chatGPT, and he suggested changing the drivers, kernel modules, etc., since according to him, the default PROXMOX driver tends to cause this with this card's chip.
Following chatgpt's suggestions try the following:
What could it be? Any suggestions? Is the card faulty or just a software issue?
Thanks for your help!
PD: I THINK I FIXED IT

Following chatgpt's suggestions try the following:
Code:
1.- lspcie
43:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8211/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06)
44:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8211/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06)
45:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8211/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 07)
46:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8211/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 06)
2.- Install kernel headers and compilation tools (pve-headers, dkms, etc.).
3.- Install r8168-dkms.
Blacklist r8169.
Load module r8168.
4.- rebootWhat could it be? Any suggestions? Is the card faulty or just a software issue?
