Proxmox via a wireless network card

[balter]

Hi all,

I have set up Proxmox 6.0-4 on an intel NUC8i7HVK. Everything runs superbly when connected via ethernet however there doesn't appear to be any drivers for a wireless card. I am happy to keep the nuc's connectivity via ethernet however I would like to use the bluetooth capability from the wireless card and pass that feature through to the VM's on the proxmox node.

 06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78)

So I'm guessing I need to compile drivers for the wireless card?

If you want to use the card in one VM you can look into PCI passthrough ( https://pve.proxmox.com/pve-docs/pve-admin-guide.html#qm_pci_passthrough ) to hand over the hardware to the VM directly.
