Two Intel NICs and neither are recognized

I’ve bought two different intel Pro/1000 NICs, and no matter what I’ve tried I can’t get them to show up. The BIOS doesn’t see them, and Linux lspci doesn’t either. They are pic-e x4 cards.

I’ve tried changing the slots, I’ve poked around in the BIOS to see if there was some setting I could toggle. For the proxmox machine, I updated the BIOS and nothing.

If anyone has any experience with these cards or can offer any advice it would be greatly appreciated. My goal was to virtualize PfSense with these.

The systems I’ve tried on is:

  • Ryzen 5 5600g + Asus ROG b550
    • OS: arch linux
  • Ryzen 3700 + Gigabyte Aorus Pro b550-m
    • OS: proxmox
  • i7-4790k + Asus Z97-A USB 3.1
    • OS: none, tried a few different distros from a live USB including arch and fedora

The cards are:

  1. HP 2 port nic


  1. Intel Pro/1000 PT Quad Port
