Help to install on proxmox

[delta-whiplash]

Hello am a noob and I need help
I have an asus ASUS USB-C2500 on my proxmox setup
I tried to use it with kernel driver
but I was stuck at 2500mbits half duplex autoneg off
I tried to install the asus official driver but I had a lot of make error
Then I tried to the content of this video
https://youtu.be/sAfPm2CxfI4

but same issue
I tried to follow this gist :
https://gist.github.com/wooyey/8a83cb8bfc1ce0e461d7b359a7d72d43
then Install your repo content with this commands :
make
make modules
make install
sudo depmod -a
sudo update-initramfs -u

reboot
but I still have the same issue

this is the output of my ethtool command
ethtool enx04421a3c7069
Settings for enx04421a3c7069:

this is the content of my dmesg

It seems you don't have the USB rules for starters as you still play with cdc_ncm driver... Look here it seems this is also needed for your USB NIC model: #30

Exec format error? Hmmm... Try make clean before install, also - paste 'uname -a'

Do you know what am I doing wrong

[OryxGazella]

@delta-whiplash I just got this connector today and struggled with the same problems wrt getting it to work in proxmox 8.

What did the trick for me was:

1. Making the code changed mentioned here that @luciust mentioned and then doing a make install.
2. Adding a udev rule for the vendor and device id added in step 1 above (0b05) <-- vendor 1976 <--- device
   For point number 2 edit the file /etc/udev/rules.d/50-usb-realtek-net.rules and add the line

ATTR{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTR{idProduct}=="1976", ATTR{bConfigurationValue}!="$env{REALTEK_MODE1}", ATTR{bConfigurationValue}="$env{REALTEK_MODE1}"

After rebooting I got on ethtool

ethtool enxfc34972d1e94
...
        Speed: 2500Mb/s
        Duplex: Full
        ...

I have the same issue could you give a step by step tutorial without details just to let me know if I didn't do something

[luciust]

@delta-whiplash You are close

1. Exec format error means you've probably upgraded kernel but did not reboot your Proxmox yet - do system upgrade and reboot
2. Add the line

ATTR{idVendor}=="0b05", ATTR{idProduct}=="1976", ATTR{bConfigurationValue}!="$env{REALTEK_MODE1}", ATTR{bConfigurationValue}="$env{REALTEK_MODE1}"
to the /etc/udev/rules.d/50-usb-realtek-net.rules and reboot again

I did this

I got the code from git clone https://github.com/wget/realtek-r8152-linux.git

I tried this steps with no improvement

[delta-whiplash]

I rebooted one more time then I tried again
