eve-ng pro bare metal install network card issues

[aniljham]

Hi,

Am trying to install eve-ng pro on bare metal and having no ip issues due to network card.
I have a dell desktop with a i9 ultra 9 285k processor, intel i226 nic and intel be200 wifi.
lsshw -c , shows all three nics but disabled. enabled the wired ones but still no ip.
Likely driver issues ? Any help would be appreciated.

show output of

Having network issues with EVE-NG Pro? Are the NICs recognized but not getting an IP? I had a similar problem! For me, manually configuring the network interface in /etc/network/interfaces with a static IP and gateway resolved it. Seems like the default DHCP isn't always reliable.

Bug Report: MediaTek MT7902 (RZ616) WiFi/Bluetooth Inoperable on EVE-NGSubject: Kernel driver mt7921e fails to load for MediaTek MT7902 [14c3:7902] due to missing symbols in kernel 6.7.5-eveng-6-ksm+.1. System & Hardware InformationPlatform: EVE-NGKernel Version: 6.7.5-eveng-6-ksm+Hardware: MediaTek MT7902 (also known as AMD RZ616) Wi-Fi 6E / Bluetooth Combo CardPCI ID: [14c3:7902]2. Problem DescriptionThe integrated MediaTek MT7902 network controller is detected by the PCI subsystem but remains non-functional. The kernel does not attach the appropriate mt7921e driver, leaving the hardware in an UNCLAIMED state. This prevents the use of the system's built-in WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities.3. Diagnostic Steps & EvidenceThe following is a log of the diagnostic commands performed to identify the root cause of the issue.Step A: Initial Hardware IdentificationThe hardware is correctly identified by the PCI subsystem.Command: lspci -nn | grep NetworkOutput:04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: MEDIATEK Corp. Device [14c3:7902]
Step B: Verifying Driver Statuslshw confirms the device is present but UNCLAIMED, indicating no driver has taken control of it.Command: lshw -C networkRelevant Output: *-network UNCLAIMED

Step C: Checking Kernel Driver Informationmodinfo confirms that the mt7921e driver module exists within the kernel. However, it reveals two key issues:The target PCI ID [14c3:7902] is not listed in the driver's default alias list.The driver explicitly lists dependencies on firmware files for the MT7922 and MT7961, which will be required for operation.Command: modinfo mt7921eOutput:libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:191 kmod_module_parse_depline: ctx=0x5f39a65bc2a0 path=/lib/modules/6.7.5-eveng-6-ksm+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/mt7902e.ko error=No such file or directory

Step D: Attempting to Manually Load the DriverA manual attempt to load the mt7921e module fails with a critical error, pointing to a dependency issue.Command: sudo modprobe mt7921eOutput:modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkmod-module.c:191 kmod_module_parse_depline() ctx=0x5894fd8e02a0 path=/lib/modules/6.7.5-eveng-6-ksm+/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/mt7902e.ko error=No such file or directory

modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'mt7921e': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
Step E: Analyzing the Kernel Log for the Root CauseThe dmesg log, checked immediately after the failed modprobe command, reveals the definitive root cause. The mt7921e module cannot be inserted because numerous required functions ("symbols") from its dependency modules (e.g., mt76, mt792x-lib) are missing.Command: dmesg | tail -n 20Output:[ 2567.301222] mt7921e: Unknown symbol mt76_token_consume (err -2)

4. ConclusionThe EVE-NG kernel 6.7.5-eveng-6-ksm+ has a broken driver stack for the MediaTek mt7921e wireless module. The module itself is present, but its core dependencies are either missing or were compiled in a way that makes them incompatible, resulting in a large number of unresolved symbols. This is not a user-level configuration issue (e.g., missing firmware or modprobe rules) but rather a kernel packaging or compilation defect. The driver cannot be loaded, rendering the MediaTek MT7902 hardware unusable.
