Enable the thunderbolt
module in Talos machine config.
If you need Thunderbolt/USB4 networking,
enable thunderbolt_net
module as well.
machine:
kernel:
modules:
- name: thunderbolt
- name: thunderbolt_net
You can verify the modules are enabled by reading the /proc/modules
where it should show the module is live.
For example:
❯ talosctl -n 192.168.42.15 read /proc/modules
thunderbolt_net 24576 - - Live 0xffffffffc0414000
thunderbolt 299008 - - Live 0xffffffffc03ca00
In addition, if you're using networking, you should be able to verify presence of the network interfaces, checking /sys/class/net
directory.
For example:
❯ talosctl -n 192.168.42.15 ls /sys/class/net/ | grep -E 'NODE|thunderbolt'
NODE NAME
192.168.42.15 thunderbolt0
192.168.42.15 thunderbolt1
You can also verify everything in dmesg:
❯ talosctl -n 192.168.42.15 dmesg
