Having trouble getting an Intel 82576 nic to like its qube

[mccall.c...@gmail.com]

I passed several nics to a BSD based firewall appliance(its wan is still going through sys-net/sys-firewall). Three of them were Realtek 8111/8168/8411, likely all three were 8111, with no issues. I can connect through those nics with no issue.

One network card has two Intel nics on it, 82576 models. Qubes passes the device through no problem, and the BSD system sees them.

When I try and connect a device to an 82576 NIC that device does not receive DHCP data and ends up assigning a random IP to itself. It also cannot connect to BSD unless I plug it into a Realtek NIC . I can use ping from within the BSD qube, pinging from one of the 82576 interfaces to google and that will work.

What has me thinking this could be passthrough related was that these NICs did work when they used on a native BSD install. I just got done migrating that install into a VM and now they do not work.

Some of those Intel NICs are quirky on passthrough. Try

You can also try enabling permissive mode, but it's not best for security.

I tried nomsi and permissive mode but they did not work. I had thought that intel nics would work better but perhaps I will switch to realtec nics once some other issues are worked out.
