debug generated and uploaded but is generated using VertIO driver vs vmxnet3 since the web console is not accessible when that driver is used in proxmox.

I have a Virtualized TrueNAS scale/community edition on proxmox. I recently upgraded to Fangtooth 25.04-RC.1 from Scale 24.10.2. After rebooting the network interface would not come up. I am using vmxnet3 driver for the TrueNAS VM in Proxmox. I have been using this driver it has been working for a few years but the interface fails to come up on 25.04-RC.1 and works completely fine if I boot in Scale 24.10.2 or earlier. If I change the driver for the NIC in Proxmox to VirtIO or Intel E1000 the system come up correctly in 25.04-RC.1. Any thoughts as vmxnet3 has better network performance and has been working in scale for years now but fails to work now.
The error message in the console is “The web interface could not be accessed. Please check network configuration” and if i get into the shell it says the NIC is in a “down” state.
The release notes mention that vmxnet3 is not yet available to use for VM’s hosted inside truenas but I would not expect that that would prevent it from working as the TrueNAS host nic in a virtualized TrueNAS.
