Like the title says. I installed a GPU, everything posts and boots fine. The lights on the Ethernet port are lit up and will stay lit up indefinitely (I assume) if I leave it at the kernel select screen.
But as soon as I load a kernel, the lights go dark. It also is not shown as an active client on my gateway, so it’s not working at all.
I’ve tried lots of commands I’ve found to force it up. It looks to me like the NIC assigned to vmbr0 is correct. Etc. I just can’t get it to work.
If I remove the GPU, it immediately works again. NIC stays up after the kernel loads and I can access the web UI as normal.

So in the end, the intel 1g NIC just worked, so I gave up for now on trying to get the 2.5g Broadcom working instead.
I might try to link aggregate later and use the 2.5g Broadcom and circle back on this… but we’ll see.
I also got the second GPU installed and it shows up, too. But it’s an Rx590 and is showing as an RTX2070… so I’ll be making another post shortly!
Thanks for all the input!
check lsmod before and after see what kernel modules are changing.
also look at dmesg for interesting kernel messages as you attempt to use / not use the offending hardware.
I have no experience with dmesg and also don’t know how to scroll the history since I’m not on a terminal app (since I can’t get the NIC up).
Anything here helpful?
I had a stock Debian install actually rename the device for my NIC when I changed GPUs. You should double-check if your NIC has the same entry in /dev with and without the GPU. After I changed the name in some config files the NIC worked fine with the GPU in, it could be easy as that.
I read through your screenshot. The ip command has enp3s0 and the config has enp2s0, I think this might be it.
Ohhh. In that last line. I wasn’t even looking at that, I assumed the block above that was setting up the primary NIC…
I’ll see if changing that interface name does it…
I changed my settings to name nic cards by mac address instead of the enumeration as I got sick of the name changing when I would add/remove pci devices.
