Hi, I have a new desktop PC with an ASUS Pro WS WRX90E motherboard. I’m using Opensuse tumbleweed, and I only have trouble with the wired ethernet connection. Opensuse has these intel X710 drivers, but none of the connections in the mobo work. When I plug in the cable, the system cannot configure the IP and constantly fails. How can I configure the ethernet connection? These are my devices (I have an additional wifi card that works fine):

LAN is enabled in the BIOS, but I’ll double check
I now enabled dhcpcd and can connect, but there is no internet, I get a warning mentioning a limited connection:

New PC, so new hardware, could be that the 10G Ethernet chips are not that good support in Linux yet.
Can you share the output of “sudo ethtool eno1np0” and “sudo ethtool eno2np1”

I’m using the 10G port next to the VGA connector. The Ethernet led is blinking green. What should I get in the port parameter?

Server-grade IPMI remote management and onboard BMC: Hardware and software-level with a dedicated LAN port link to an onboard AST2600 BMC controller, plus ASUS Control Center Express software for real-time monitoring and management.
https://www.aspeedtech.com/server_ast2600/
You have to properly set up BMC network chip in BIOS (IP address & other) - read instructions for that. If you connect only 1 network cable, then BMC tries to use it together with your ordinary network controller.
VGA output goes from AST2600.

Aha, thanks, I’ll check that.
Do you know if I disable BMC in the board (it has a switch), will the LAN ports still work?
They have to work - 10G LAN ports I mean, BMC LAN port supposedly will be disabled.
Do you know where I can find information on how to set up the BMC? I still can’t make the ports to work, but the BMC has a dhcp IP address, which I can see if I use ipmitool lan print

What about motherboard’s manual?
It doesn’t have much information, I already checked. And most of the software ASUS provides is made for Windows
