Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port and e1000e module "UNCLAIMED"

cn flag

I've been going around in circles all day with this and I'm no closer. Tried all sorts of suggested solutions I can find.

I'm trying to get an Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port adapter working in Linux on my Dell Precision. The system has an onboard Intel 82579LM which is working fine and is using the e1000e kernel module. As far as I can tell, the quad port has 82571EB controller and should work with the same e1000e kernel module. But, the four interfaces of the quad port are all showing as UNCLAIMED.

This is a fresh build system and I've tried Ubuntu Server 20.04 and Rocky/CentOS 8, all with the same result.

Here's some output samples to show what I'm seeing.

I'm almost resigned to the fact that the card is just too old but I've read a lot of stuff that seems to indicate it should work with that driver so I'm hoping I'm just doing something fundamentally wrong.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
