I've installed Proxmox VE on a Beelink EQ12 mini-PC (16GB RAM, 2x Intel 226-V, AX201 Wifi) and it works great. I have 2 bridges setup for an OPNSense VM to use the physical NICs, and added a TP-Link USB-C to Ethernet 1Gb adapter (ASIX AX88179) to use as the management connection. And it works fine, until it just stops working. The OPNSense VM continues to work fine, because I still have internet access, but not management via Wi-Fi or the USB-C dongle.
What I've tried:
- cron job to `ifreload -a -X enp1s0 -X enp2s0 -X lan -X wan` every 5 minutes (lan and wan are what I call the bridges I created for the OPNSense VM)
- adding `pcie_port_pm=off pcie_aspm=off` to the kernel command line
Nothing works, I keep getting locked out of the UI after a few hours. Curiously enough, both the USB-C dongle _and_ the WiFi connection fail at the same time.
Now I've added a new cronjob every five minutes -> `ping google.com || (ip link set wlo1 down ; ip link set wlo1 up)` (one for each interface, this is for the wi-fi one) hopefully that will fix it but it's weird I need to do this.
I'm sure it's this particular PC, since I have Proxmox running on another non-mini PC and it's rock solid, no network drops.
Here's my `/etc/network/interfaces`:
I've tried changing `wlo1` to static with an IP of `192.168.2.9/20` and gateway of `192.168.2.1`, but then I lose access to the UI immediately. The gateway IP is the LAN address of the OPNSense VM. Both the dongle and wifi interfaces get their IP by DHCP, which runs on the OPNSense VM as well.
Any pointers much appreciated!
