Hi Andrii_Vasylyshyn,


Thank you for posting in Intel Community Forum.


Regarding the issue reported, we require some information from you:


1) Kindly share the Intel Ethernet Adapter model that you are currently using.


Seems like you are trying to update the ethernet driver, have you tried to update the driver using link below. If no, we suggest you to update the driver using this driver pack (see link below).


Intel® Ethernet Adapter Complete Driver Pack

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/15084/intel-ethernet-adapter-complete-driver-pack.html


Or, you can get the driver from Github at https://intel.github.io/ethernet-linux/.

Hello Andrii_Vasylyshyn,


Greetings!


Thank you for sharing the Ethernet details. To assist you further, could you please provide the following information:

  1. The current driver version you are using.
  2. Can you confirm if you face the same issue with older version like 6.0.6 or 6.0.5.
  3. Whether the Ethernet card was purchased separately or came pre-installed with the system.


This information will help us better understand your setup and guide you more effectively.


Looking forward to your response.


Best regards,

Azeem

  1. The current driver version you are using.

That iformation is in my first message:

driver: ixgbe
version: 5.1.0-k

it's build-in kernel driver.

 

Can you confirm if you face the same issue with older version like 6.0.6 or 6.0.5.

Yes, and with 5.22.25 and 5.21.6

  1. Whether the Ethernet card was purchased separately or came pre-installed with the system.

Separately. It changed XL710 and XXV710 from previous topic.

I downloaded all sources drom github https://github.com/intel/ethernet-linux-ixgbe/releases

If you read my first message you can see 

driver: ixgbe
version: 5.1.0-k

It a bulid-in kernel driver. Also you can see OS Debian 10.13 https://www.debian.org/releases/buster/

Also you can see kernel 4.19.0-27-amd64  https://packages.debian.org/buster/linux-image-4.19.0-27-amd64

Hi Andrii_Vasylyshyn,


Greetings!


We would like to inform you that the issue appears to be related to the kernel version. Since your system is currently running kernel version 4.19, we recommend trying Debian 11, which includes kernel version 5.10.


Our driver pack release notes list Debian 11 as a supported operating system.


Additionally, kindly share clear images of the front and rear of the adapter, ensuring that the stickers are visible.


Best Regards,

Sreelakshmi
