08:15:33 <nikolam> Happy to report that my rge card RTL8168H , pciex10ec,8161 is now visible with 20260514T000317Z in dladm show-phys -m , but when creating a zone that is using it's nictag (external) , then I get this message: 
08:15:41 <nikolam> undefined VNIC net0  (global NIC external)
08:16:13 <nikolam> I replased it's MAC in /usbkey/config
08:16:17 <nikolam> replaced
08:30:52 <nikolam> it shows at nictagadm list
08:31:34 <nikolam> but dladm shows it is not in use..
12:57:28 <danmcd> Compare `dladm show-phys -m` and `nictagadm`.
12:57:50 <danmcd> [root@alder-lake /var/tmp]# dladm show-phys -m

12:58:03 <danmcd> Yours will be some rge of course.
17:35:46 <nikolam> danmcd,  yes, https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/zstyvR9B2h/
17:36:58 <nikolam> I have 2 machines with the same 8168 card model. Another 8111 does work on the other machine
17:38:52 <danmcd> If this is a standalone SmartOS machine, the "admin" NIC is often the ONLY nic.  Can you add your /usbkey/config file and `dladm show-vnic` , if that isn't giving away too much?  
17:39:25 <danmcd> Also I wonder if "rge" is spitting out errors in /var/adm/messages* (or dmesg(8)) ?
18:49:39 <yofuh> hm, seems to me nodejs needs a rebuild: nodejs-11.9.0_1: broken, unresolvable shlib `libicui18n.so.63'
18:50:11 <yofuh> got libicu78-78.3_1 installed, 68 not longer available
18:51:31 <yofuh> ups, wrong channel
