Windows server 2019 not recognizing 1 NIC port

Hello all, 

So I am running a Dell Poweredge R430 in it I added a NIC: BRCM 10Gb BASET 2P 57406 Adptr with two slots.

First I had an installation of hyper-v server 2016 which recognized both slots of this NIC without any problems. I decided to upgrade to Windows Server 2019 and since that moment 1 of the slots is up and the other doesn't show a MAC adress anymore:

 

Name                      InterfaceDescription                    ifIndex Status       MacAddress             LinkSpeed
----                      --------------------                    ------- ------       ----------             ---------
SLOT 1 Port 1             Broadcom NetXtreme E-Series Dual-por...       3 Up           00-0A-F7-A5-AE-A6         1 Gbps
SLOT 1 Port 2             Broadcom NetXtreme E-Series Dual-p...#2      11 Not Present                            0 bps

 

 

I've tried to upgrade the drivers and firmware to the following versions.

Family Firmware Version 20.08.04.04
Family Driver Version 20.6.123

 

And in the ILO it says strangely enough that the OS status is operational:

OS Driver State Operational

 

(on the old firmware/drivers it was not operational)

 

TLDR: New NIC, 1 port is working, the other is not. According to the DCA administrator both lights are blinking so it should be ok.

 

Anybody any ideas what else I can do or what can be wrong?

 

Thanks in advance
