Proxmox installer not seeing networking card

[Riffy]

I have been having an issue with proxnox not seeing the onboard networking card for awhile now. So I ended up swapping out the board via RMA and it still does not seeing the networking card. I have a EVGA X570 FTW WIFI board and the older version of proxmox and the installer saw the networking card for a bit till I updated it and then it stopped seeing it. Right now if I just do ip a I get just the wifi card listed now.

Anyone got any ideas on how to deal with this? I had a PCI networking card I was using but I need that slot of something else and can't really use it anymore and I wanted to avoid using a USB one unless I have zero choice.

After Proxmox has finished installing, add these lines to '/etc/modules':

vfio
vfio_iommu_type1
vfio_pci
vfio_virqfd

- After changing anything modules related, you need to refresh your initramfs.
On Proxmox VE this can be done by executing:

# update-initramfs -u -k all

- reboot host (maybe twice)

Thanks, I'll try it when I get home tonight. But isn't that one of the steps for GPU passthrough?

Trust me, I plan to try. At this point I would try anything, It just rang a bell when I was looking at it. But all the same when I get in I will boot into proxmox and edit the file and see what happens after a reboot. I'll update if it helps because this has been driving me into a rage for months.

Sadly, no change. Those settings were also already in place ahead of time from my gpu passthrough but I removed the file rebooted remade it and did everything and rebooted twice and still nothing.

Maybe update your motherboard BIOS with the latest firmware version?

"the older version of proxmox and the installer saw the networking card"
- what older Proxmox version are you referring to, and what version are you using now?

proxmox iso 6.4 was the first one I installed and it worked the first time but then I had weird hardware errors that had to be solved by a bios update which then had the onboard network card go dark and never came back online.
