Support for Realtek RTL8111/8168B or Intel 82573L?

[swanes]

Doe anyone have any instructions for getting an:

Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller​

or a

Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller
​

working with the latest version of Proxmox VE? The install does not seem to recognize either adapter.

Thanks,


Steve

The Intel chip should be recognized by the kernel just fine. I've got a stock Lenny install that sees the chip.

# lspci | grep 82573L
0f:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller

The Realtek, I'm not going to say anything about except avoid them.

What errors, if any, are you seeing? IIRC, the installer does have a shell available off of one of the virtual consoles, I'd look at the output of dmesg, ifconfig, and lspci.
