[michal]

I have installed Dell BRCM 10GbE 2P 57810S Network Card.
During boot I'm getting errors and network card is not visible.

I've also testd it with 5.11 kernel. PVE is up to date.
The same card works with Ubuntu. Please help.

hi,

could you post:
* pveversion -v
* ip link show
* find /usr/lib/ 2>/dev/null | grep bnx2x

it would also be interesting to see the outputs for those last two commands with that ubuntu machine where the card is working

I have installed this card (BRCM 10GbE 2P 57810S) in another non DELL machine and it works perfect in PROXMOX.
It has to be something with DELL BIOS or other settings, but I have tried different kind of combinations and errors are always the same.

I have changed it to Intel X550 and this one is working ok.
