i219-v PING packet loss on 1Gb

[CJLIN]

I own my DELL-5060-MFF Micro (build-in i219-v ethernet controller) with Ubuntu 20.04 & 18.04, in my case that all works fine in 100Mbps, but when I switch to 1Gb the PING packet will loss about every 10 sec (please check my attached screenshot below for driver info & screenshot of PING loss).

I've try connected with 3 different switch (Netgear-GS308, DLINK-DGS108) the problem still happen,

and I also try connect 2 PC(1 DELL 5060 Micro, 1 DIY PC) directly (without any Switch/Router), the problem still happen,

BTW, the problem never happen on my DIY-PC & Notebook.

Hello CJLIN,

Thank you for posting in Intel Ethernet Communities. 

First, we'd like to set your expectation regarding our support for Original Equipment Manufacturer(OEM). We understand that this is an Ethernet controller that's embedded with Dell system. For OEM on-board Ethernet controller, it would be best if you can also get in touch with Dell for further support since they have customized drivers and software to enable or alter features on your system. They are in best position where you can seek assistance so you don’t lose features or customizations of the Ethernet controller.

To proceed with your request, can you please share if you already tried the driver provided by your manufacturer? If yes, does it help the issue? Have you also tried using the generic driver that can be downloaded from Intel site?

We hope to hear from you soon. 

Should there be no response, we will follow up after 3 business days.

Best regards,

Hi Crisselle,

    Actually I have request customer support for DELL last week, they want me try in Windows (but I have no windows setup CD, so I could not try the status in Windows), so that's why I've post this on there.

And I have also found a tricky when I move my DELL-5060-MFF behind switch to router direct connected(position A), the PING was normal, then I changed the position to B or C, the PING will loss.

BTW, I have try original drivers from ubuntu(16.04, 18.04, 20.04, 21.04), and never try other drivers.
