Hi there,
i've bought a PCIe-NIC with RTL8126 chip (1,2.5,5 Gbit) and having problems to set it up correctly.
The chip actual isn't supported by the actual proxmox kernel (6.8.x.x) and on the realtek driver site (https://www.realtek.com/Download/List?cate_id=584) is only one entry for this card: 5G Ethernet LINUX driver r8126 for kernel up to 6.4
I'm no linux pro, but what i did: Booted several PVE-Kernels (6.8, 6.5., 6.2) and installed the driver package (unpack the driver -> ./autorun.sh); last try with Kernel 6.2, which should be compatible with the above driver. I've created a new linux bridge vmbr1, give it a ip and set the interface to enp6s0. I bound vmbr1 to a Windows-VM to check, if i can reach the devices in my network - that's not the case.
pveversion
With 6.2 and lspci -v i get:
dmesg spams:
The NIC-LEDs blink, so i think, it has a link; but the state is "down":
ip a show enp6s0

Modinfo:
The behaviour of all tested pve-kernels is the same; so i'm not sure, what i can do to get this card working. Has anyone a idea, what i could do next?
