[SOLVED] Adding new NIC driver?

Hi All

First time user and first time poster. I recently was introduced to Proxmox by a colleague when we were setting up a new Lab at my work. Very impressed indeed.

I am now setting up Proxmox (current release) on an Intel NUC (i5 and 16GB RAM backed off to NFS storage). I am migrating the currently running Debian instance to be a guest on the Proxmox install. The Debian instance is an inline HTTP proxy and for this I use an additional NIC.

I would like to add the additional USB3 Gbps NIC (chipset is AX88179) to proxmox so I can use it in the guest image.

However, in order to compile the module I need the kernel headers. Normally I would get these by:

Code:

---

apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)

---

But this package does not exist.

In fact, I've installed all of the available headers and no luck.

How can I get the kernel headers to compile a new NIC driver? This is something I would happily do as admin for "normal" Linux install. Is this acceptable in Proxmox-land or do I need to wait until this driver is included by the Proxmox dev team?

Thanks in advance for any pointers.

EDIT:

Solved by adding the following to my /etc/apt/sources.list


Then

Code:

---

apt-get install pve-headers-$(uname -r)

---
