October 9, 20169 yr Hello All, I am trying to make a SophosUTM 9.4 VM. This software is based on openSUSE and i am trying to passthrough a 4 port PCI NIC card which i purchased. When passing through the card (followed this guide http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=39638.0 ) except for the last step because the new 6.2 has checkboxes to passthrough the NIC. When the machine is on there is no link lights at all, i was able to see the nic cards when installing but it does not seem to be able to actually notice that there is a Ethernet connected. There is no GUI to the sophos UTM but there is a linux command line that i can work though. Not sure how to even go any further, I decided to install a live CD of ubuntu. When starting ubuntu i see the same behavior in the GUI, all wired ports show up but no matter what or where i plug the wire into it says no Ethernet connected. I know the port works on the laptop and the wire because i have tested it. The NIC card is brand new ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HH6WETO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) could it be a DoA card? Or am i doing something wrong? Thank you.
October 9, 20169 yr Pull the card out and try it on a different machine would be my next play. As for Sophos UTM is has a GUI but you need to have a working NIC to access it. Sophos checks for NICs when installing -- if none are showing up how did you get past that?
October 9, 20169 yr Author So here is the strange part, the NICs show up but don't notice the cord plugged in also no link light or activity light. I'll try the card in another machine and report back.
