Does not find the LAN on motherboard

[mike123abc]

Gigabyte Z890 Gaming X Wifi7 motherboard (intel)

The specs of the motherboard list Realtek® 2.5GbE LAN chip (2.5 Gbps/1 Gbps/100 Mbps)

The Wifi MediaTek Wi-Fi 7 MT7925

Neither of the interfaces appear to have been found..  Opening a linux shell just shows the loopback interface "lo"

I see from other posts realtek ethernet adapters appear to cause issues.  Is it best to get an add in card?  If so what would be a good 10gbs that is known to work with HexOS?

Hey,

Yes Realtek doesn't play nice with Hexos and WiFi is not supported at all.

If you are looking for a PCIe NIC go with an Intel NIC, if you want to have 10Gbps, go with sth. Like an Intel X520 or X540 depending if you want SFP+(X520) or RJ45 (X540)

Got a new Intel X550-10G-2T-X8 card and it finds the new card just fine.  Thanks for the recommendation!
