New to SFF.
I recently purchased a ThinkCentre m90q Gen 3 with i7-12700T and 135W supply. I managed to add a Startech 4-port nic. It was about 1mm too long so made a custom rear bracket to handle it, rather than hacking on the existing one. The m90q the internal PCI connector populated, and it requires a specific riser card. I had a lot of trouble booting up until I disabled all the PXE in the bios.
$lspci | grep -i 'network\|ethernet'
00:14.3 Network controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-S PCH CNVi WiFi (rev 11)
00:1f.6 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (17) I219-LM (rev 11)
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller I225-V (rev 03)
05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller I225-V (rev 03)
06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller I225-V (rev 03)
07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Controller I225-V (rev 03)
My next task is to determine how best to use this. Looking at all options, OPNsense, Proxmox, firewalld,... I'm most experienced using shorewall, since forever.
