Qubes OS 3.2 NUC7i7BNH network driver issue

[wannabe...@gmail.com]

NUC7i7BNH 32GB RAM 500GB M2

I was able to load Qubes 3.2 using a efi bootloader.

I am assuming with bleeding edge hardware that issues may pop-up here and there.

My current issue is the ethernet driver in sys-net.

lspci drivers are there and firmware version 20160609-66.gita4bbc811.fc23.noarch.

"Dom0" dmesg output:

pciback: driver tried to write to read-only configuration space. (bolded, not in red) See permissive attributes in sysfs.

At the moment I am not able to use sys-net when I assign a static or dhcp IP.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Go to possible issues and tr both fixes.

I tried both. I am running Qubes OS 3.2

DMA buffer size: qvm-prefs netvm = "netvm does not exist"

PCI passthrough issues:
systemctl enable qubes-pre-netvm.service = "Failed to execute operation, File exist"
Do I need to chmod to match qubes_netvm.service?

No luck.

Does the firmware version I stated support Intel I219-V? This is the NIC in the new NUC i7 gen 7

permissive mode is potential unsafe!

xen_pciback: vpci: 0000:XX:XX.X: assign to virtual slot 0

Still no wired network connection.

Intel only assert that Windows is supported.
There are no customer reports of Linux working on the NUC7i7BNH, but
there are reviews indicating success with Ubuntu 16.10 - specifically ,
wifi and network working.
You don't say which Templates you have tried - I'm sure the base one
installed wont cut it. Try stretch or Fed25, or maybe build a zesty
from source - and you'll need a recent kernel - there's an ongoing
thread about this on the list

Good Luck

Unman,

I have only tried the default Fed23 and debian 8 templates. I am currently trying a intel driver install in dom0. I will try Fed25 and debian stretch next.

I will update with progress.
