26.7.3_11->26.7.4_1 frequent network link state to down and up (E810-XXVDA4)

[gaben22]

Hi everyone,

Updated OPNSense (running on Proxmox) 1 day ago from 26.7.3_11 to 26.7.4_1 and now I noticed my network link looks keeps getting down and up very frequently. My network card is an Intel E810-XXVDA4 with PCIE passtrough from Proxmox to OPNSense VM, the ice0 below is my WAN using a 10 Gbps media converter connected to my internet modem, checked the modem and uptime is expected, no restarts there. Had not have this issue before. As you see below the logs are not really saying much, at least dmesg. Would you advice where to look for more logs or how to troubleshoot this? Thank you for helping. I also checked Proxmox journalctl and nothing in the logs.

My network card is an Intel® E810-XXVDA4 with PCIE passtrough from Proxmox to OPNSense VM

Maybe convert it to a regular Virtual NIC and see what happens ?

The reason I suggest this : Recent topics like these =>
- https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=52405.0
- https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=52881.0

Maybe the driver used by Linux will avoid certain issues FreeBSD seems to have ?!

Thank you for the answer, apologies for not mentioning above but I upgraded from 26.7.3_11 to this version and previously not seen this happening. I have that backuped, will restore that later, try out and see.
