Hello guys,
I recently purchased a MinisForum MS-01 and installed the latest ProxMox 9.1.2 build. The system is up to date in both UEFI, FW, OS and drivers.
The problem is that I cannot use the second LAN port, the one associated to the controller Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller I226-V (rev 04). There are no lights at all, and the link is not detected. While in UEFI, both ports have green+activity lights on. As soon as I boot into ProxMox, the i226-V turns off.
I have already tried a bunch of things, including going into UEFI and setting ASPM from Disabled to Auto, it did not change anything. I know I only have Cat5e cables and not Cat6 as required for 2.5G, but it should still work. I think the issue is that it doesn't do auto-negotiation, but I cannot force it either, it remains off. How can I make it work?
Thank you in advance.
