VM Can't connect network when their bridge is on a specific NIC

[phguy]

Hello Everyone, I need your help

I'm a Proxmox user and enthousiast. I've recently changed one of the 2 Physical server (node) of my office and I've spent hours trying to understand why my vms couldn't get connected to the network despite I've done exactly like all the other time I've installed proxmox in the past on other machines.

Problem : When my VM has it Virtual LAN card on a VMBR that is on my QNAP Network card, the VM can't connect the physical LAN and LAN can't connect the VM, BUT the LAN can connect the proxmox which is connect to this VMBR. The Proxmox can connect the VM also. When I change the VMBR link to another Network Card, everything work correctly.

A resume for the Hardware :
The server has 4 Network cards :
On Motherboard (MSI MAG B550 TOMAHAWK) :

• Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8125 (rev 04)
  • Identify : enp42s0
  • Bandwith : 2.5G
  • driver declared by system : r8169, r8125 (had to install them manually)
  • Use for : LAN
• RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller
  • Identify : enp40s0
  • Bandwith : 1G
  • Driver declared by system : r8169
  • use for : WAN connection (my pfsense is a VM)

On a QNAP PCIe Card (QNAP QXG-2G2T-I225) (The Cards where the problem occurs)

• Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 15f2 (rev 02)
  • identify : enp35s0
  • Bandwith : 2.5G
  • Driver : igc
  • Use for NAS network
• Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 15f2 (rev 02)
  • identify : enp38s0
  • Bandwith : 2.5G
  • Driver : igc
  • Use for LAN bis and Management network

Here is my /etc/network/interfaces :

here is my Versions pveversion :

pve-manager/6.2-15/48bd51b6 (running kernel: 5.4.65-1-pve)

I hope this will help you to help me. I might have done something wrong or haven't done something necessary but I really have the impression not to have done differently than usually and thing that my config is not so special. I would really appreciate your help please.
Kind regards,

any help?

Hi all, I finally found out. these QNAP Lan card use drivers that are only compatible after kernel 5.8. Before it doesn't support bridging mode.
