November 11, 20169 yr Hello I recently installed a TP-Link pci express nic with the intention of passing it through to a VM (using this guide https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=39638.0)and have ran into a problem where the on-board nic has the same hardware id as the pcie nic as shown below. 03:00.0 0200: 10ec:8168 (rev 06) 05:00.0 0200: 10ec:8168 (rev 06) So naturally when I added the stub to syslinux.cfg upon reboot I had to ethernet access. Is there anyway for me to pass either nic through, or am I going to have to buy another card with a different chipset manufacturer? Also sidenote: After installing the pcie nic unraid defaulted it to eth0 instead of the onboard which I had been using previously. I found it strange but it may be normal for what little I know. Forgive me if it's something simple and thanks in advance for your help! -Andrew
November 11, 20169 yr Instead of the stub, try to use xen-pciback.hide. should look like below if you want to hide the 05:00.0 device. Just remove the stub you have now and replace it with this one. xen-pciback.hide=(05:00.0) I don't remember if you have to add the pass through manually or it shows up under other devices.
