IBM X3550 M4 - Ethernet connection not working

[Dylan]

Hi, I've recently installed Qubes R4 on a IBM X3550 M4 and everything worked as expected apart from the networking. Originally I thought this might be a problem with R4 so I upgraded to R4.0.2 but no avail.

The connection is detected as being plugged in, I've tried manually setting the IP in sys-net, different switch, router, cable, pretty much anything I can think of; but it will not connect to the network.

I then thought it could be a conflict of some type so I removed 3 of the 4 i350 NIC's pcie devices; but this had no effect either.

I should add there were no issues during install.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Dylan:

If using Fedora as your sys-net's template, try switching to Debian.
Leaving all 4 NICs assigned to sys-net should work more easily than just
one. Check sys-net's journalctl for igb related errors.

If that still doesn't work, try booting a Debian/Fedora Live image on
the same hardware and see if the NIC works or if you need additional
drivers.
