Hardware and Performance / Re: NIC driver installation
« on: August 12, 2016, 04:41:42 pm »
I gave up on this. I tried several USB NIC's but they are all unstable. Therefore, I tried to Install a Hypervisor on the Intel NUC, Hyper-V 2016 TP5 and Hyper-V 2012 R2. Unfortunately the NUC is not certified for Windows Server, so I had the same issue, no driver which works for the onboard NIC. The only option I would have is to install Windows 10 on the NUC and Hyper-V with the OPNSense FW VM. But due the overhead Windows 10 produces because it is a user OS, I stopped with this device.
I use now as before a virtual machine hosted on a Windows Server 2016 TP5 which runs perfectly. The goal of transferring the VM to the NUC was only that I can do maintenance on my hypervisor without downtime of the firewall VM.
By the way, I do not use the OPNSense FW as WIFI hardware. I have a separate ASUS router which is only WIFI AP.
