Fix Intel e1000e error

Please note - you may want to validate whether the options used affect your setup.

Create a new service file.

nano /etc/systemd/system/disable-offloading.service

Paste the required information/command in the newly created service file - please change eth0 to your desired adapter.

[Unit]
Description=Disable NIC offloading
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/sbin/ethtool -K eth0 gso off gro off tso off tx off rx off rxvlan off txvlan off sg off
RemainAfterExit=true

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Load the new service file and enable on reboot.

systemctl daemon-reexec && systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl enable disable-offloading.service

Update: The helper script is now in the official repo :-)

This issue started again for me after update to 8.4.5, this fix does not work anymore :(

Yes, same here. Problem has started happening again. Very frustrating :(

This also seems to happen for the Intel I225-LM 2.5 Network Cards too :-( Could the script be updated potentially to cover the model as well?

Just updated one of my hosts here, lets see what it does..

As the author of the Proxmox Helper Script ... I am still up and running on my Intel NUC

root@pve:~# pveversion
pve-manager/8.4.5/57892e8e686cb35b (running kernel: 6.8.12-12-pve)
root@pve:~# uptime
 22:26:50 up 3 days,  7:56,  1 user,  load average: 0.23, 0.24, 0.11

If anyone find any nuances that need to be added ... then please reply here and I can update the Helper Script ... but so far not one issue on my setup.

I did find I had to the run the post install Helper Script again as I was getting the nag screen.

Same on the NAG screen. The issue has not (yet) popped up after upgrading to 8.4.5 as shown in my previous post.

Thanks a lot for this post. It made a huge difference. Solved an issue with Proxmox 8.5.x on an old-ish server.
