Since switching to Proxmox I’ve noticed an issue with intermittent network connectivity on my VMs. I’ve narrowed it down to the realtek based PCI NIC (Rosewill RNG-407-Dualv2) I currently have installed. Basically when I see a ton of these in my syslog:
Dec 14 13:55:37 server kernel: r8169 0000:09:00.0 enp9s0: rtl_rxtx_empty_cond == 0 (loop: 42, delay: 100).
It means it’s time to reboot. I did some digging on it and it appears to be a kernel driver issue. Unless someone in this community has encountered this and knows of a good fix (other than rebooting) I’d rather just ditch Realtek and replace the NIC.
Can anyone recommend a 2 port PCIe (x1) card that has good driver support under Linux and (hopefully) won’t cost me a small fortune? Bonus points if it’s 2.5GbE capable.
Yeah i didn’t read thoroughfully your post and my suggestion might not be the best recomendation for your case…
Seems solid to me, I’ve installed dozens of two and four port Broadcoms. The BCM5720-2P should be fine.
