I’ve got a VMWare edge 620 that had a working instance of OpenWRT on it. I did a upgrade and now as far as I can tell OpenWrt doesn’t see any of the NICs, lo is the only one that shows up when i run ifconfig -a.

Yes, I have the drives for both the 1G and 10 nics installed. root@OpenWrt:/etc# opkg list-installed | grep kmod-ix kmod-ixgbe - 5.15.162-1 root@OpenWrt:/etc# opkg list-installed | grep kmod-e1000 kmod-e1000 - 5.15.162-1 kmod-e1000e - 5.15.162-1

I did the reset and that didn’t help. All the nics show up in the BIOS. I’ll see if @frollic or @stangri can offer any suggestions. Thanks

I don't own any of these any more, try booting some other Linux or the old Openwrt version dist off a flash drive, to see if it detects the missing NICs. What did you upgrade from and to ?

Good idea on trying an older version of OpenWRT, I upgraded to OpenWrt 24.10.2. I don’t remember what I was coming from. I bricked it a while ago and am just now getting to trying to fix it.

Driver is igb Which supports sr-iov aka vf / pps and ptp / multiqueue / xdp bpf e1000? used to support these cards at partial function levels.
