Having problem adding a new NIC ( Chelsio T422 ) to a proxmox server (Solved)

kaveh · March 24, 2021, 12:21pm

So, I have recently bought a Chelsio T422 and installed it on my Proxmox server. I can see all the interfaces in lspci output, but I don’t see any network interface when I check ip a s or ip link, or even /sys/class/net.

What is enp9s0, your new or old NIC?

If new, did you edit ‘/etc/network/interfaces’?

If old nic, then that is weird. Is the new NIC set to some weird non-Ethernet mode in firmware or something?

kaveh · March 25, 2021, 10:24am

it’s the onboard NIC.

How do I check?

Thanks for the help,

try running

lspci | grep -i net
0000:00:14.3 Network controller: Intel Corporation Comet Lake PCH-LP CNVi WiFi

and then :

lspci -vnn -s 00:14.3

now you can have a look at the dmesg output:

well, turns out they do show up in the pass-through devices, but how can I have them get loaded on the host machine?

Also, why only 3 Ethernet Controllers? shouldn’t it be 4? I bought this used from ebay. Could something possibly be wrong with the card?

I really appreciate the help. Thanks,

tried to pass it to a VM to see if I can use it there, the server ( Proxmox ) froze right after that, and now it freezes right after boot every time. I am thinking the only way to recover the server is to actually physically remove it from the server.

to people who had or have this card, is my card broken?

Found this:
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1052054-start-0.html

it seems like something is wrong with my card. If any body has this card ina linux or BSD server, could you please post the output of these commands on your system:

ip link
lspci -vnn | grep -A 20 ‘Chelsio’

It would really be appreciated,

So yeah, that card was broken. Got another one which seems to be working

next step: let’s see if we can negotiate a 10G link with a MikroTik
