NIC not working with UEK

[ottkomp]

Hi! I'm in trouble - I have a brand new server (Lenovo SR650 V4) with 2 Intel network cards: E810-DA2 (2*10/25G) and E610-T4 (4*1Gb) but I can not use the E610. SO 2.4.200 recognizes only E810 ('ip a'). 'lspci' shows both cards (6 NICs).
Lenovo's download page gives drivers for RHEL 9.5 and 9.6. Both RHEL 9.7 and 10.1 installers recognize the cards and get IP.
Can anybody say what is different in Oracle 9.7 and how to get the NICs up?

Edit: I will try to use RHCK on Monday. Are there any shades while using RHCK instead of UEK?

Are you unable to install the needed drivers before running the Security Onion installer? Or are you saying after installing the drivers the installer doesn't recognize the interfaces?

RHEL 9.6: Works after installing the drivers from Lenovo page.
RHEL 9.7, 10.1: Works out of the box.
Oracle 9.6: With RHCK works after installing the drivers from Lenovo page. Didn't find the way to work with UEK.
Oracle 9.7: works out of the box with both RHCK and UEK.
SO 2.4.200 (which shows to be Oracle 9.7): All the NICs work with RHCK but do not work with UEK.
The driver name is ixgbe.

Our Security Onion 2.4.200 ISO image is based on Oracle 9.6. I've created an issue to update our base image to Oracle 9.7:
#15352

In the meantime, here's what I would try if you haven't already:

• boot our Security Onion 2.4.200 ISO image, go through the first installer stage, and reboot
• login but immediately cancel out of our setup wizard
• install all Oracle updates (should include kernel updates)
• reboot into the new kernel and see if the NIC is recognized
• if so, then proceed with our setup wizard

There are no repos described so it was easier to install uek-6.12 from Oracle 9.7 ISO. All the NICs are recognized now. Thnx!
