Good day all,
I have a proxmox box that has an onboard nic and two pci nics. all were using the r8169 driver. Recently one of the cards starting flaking where it would work for 30 seconds and then cut out,pinging it i could see the light cut out. I figured its a bad nic card, so I wanted to replace it. I have a spare card that is a motorola LPCI810 i believe but it is not being detected. Can anyone please help me with this issue? the replacement card does have both LED lit so I see it is "on". Not sure what i need to do to get it working. My fear is that it is not supported.

My /etc/network/interfaces file looks like this
Code:
# network interface settings
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet manual

iface eth1 inet manual

iface eth2 inet manual

auto vmbr0
iface vmbr0 inet static
    address  100.0.0.2
    netmask  255.255.255.0
    gateway  100.0.0.1
    bridge_ports eth0
    bridge_stp off
    bridge_fd 0

auto vmbr1
iface vmbr1 inet static
    address  100.0.0.3
    netmask  255.255.255.0
    gateway  100.0.0.1
    bridge_ports eth1
    bridge_stp off
    bridge_fd 0

auto vmbr2
iface vmbr2 inet static
    address  100.0.0.4
    netmask  255.255.255.0
    gateway  100.0.0.1
    bridge_ports eth2
    bridge_stp off
    bridge_fd 0

Not sure if it is relevant, but here are my /etc/udev/rules.d/70-presistent-net.rules
The one in red is the one that is being replaced.

Code:
# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules
# program, probably run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file.
#
# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line.
# MAC addresses must be written in lowercase.

# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8168 (r8169)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:1f:d0:9f:04:2e", NAME="eth0"

[COLOR=Red]# PCI device 0x10ec:0x8169 (r8169)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:0e:2e:e9:7e:ac", NAME="eth1"[/COLOR]

Thank you in advance for your help. I really appreciate any suggestions.
