When I install PVE, after booting into installer interface, select PVE Installer then click next , then the screen print the message " No network interface found". I have a wireless network interface card on the board.
 
I have run into this issue before using dell 640s with qlogic controllers

was able to resolve using the following to create a dummy interface

abort to the console and run the following commands to create a "dummy" to get your through the install then you can update with the correct networking info
modprobe dummy
ip link add dummy0 type dummy
xinit

Thank you very much for this valuable information.

you should be directly to the console if you click abort while on that screen
 
Thank you for helping me. I tried, but I do get an error on 'modprobe dummy' --> FATAL: Module dummy not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.73-1-pve
 
I apreciate your help. thank you. I might do a Buster install first as some in this thread propose - and then install Proxmox on top. Will keep you posted. Thank you anyway.
