Hey guys. I am new to the whole debian/proxmox scene and I need some help. So I bought a MSI H61M-P21 board with a i3 chip and 8gb of ram. Now I installed proxmox just fine, no errors or anything during install, but then when I boot the system I get eth0 port failed errors and the server doesn't connect to my lan network. The board uses a Atheros AR8152 lan chipset. All help is greatly appreciated. Thankyou!
 
When I do ifconfig there are only lo, venet0 and vmbr0.

When doing lspci, the only network information i am getting is:

Code:
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR8152 v2.0 Fast Ethernet (rev c1)
 
NIC is not supported by proxmox kernel. You can get the driver here:

Thankyou! This is what I have been looking for. Seeing as i am new to linux completely, would you be able to help me install the driver? I don't have an internet connection to the machine as it needs that ethernet port for it. I am able to use a cd/usb for the install (usb preferred) but im not sure how to do that. Would you or someone be able to provide the necessary steps? Thanks!
 
The page I linked has installation instructions. They are better than what I could come up with :)

Maybe proxmox devs could include this in the kernel? Those AR81xx chips seem to be pretty common nowadays.

I agree! :D I followed the install instructions, but i am getting stuck at doing the make command. I just get back 'make: command not found'
This is annyoing as I cannot do 'apt-get install make' as I need internet for that -__-

Hi,
the easy way ist to install a supported NIC (perhaps only for installation of the driver/binutils... - or take a "better" one to use these for the server too). If your onboard-nic is functional - edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to use the onboard as eth0 or change your interface-file.

so I can use the NIC without the proper drivers? Cheers!
