Intel Ethernet Adapter on laptop not working please help

Situation: Dell 5420 laptop has an Intel Ethernet port. I setup dual boot. On the windows image, the Ethernet port and all networking works fine, so I know it's not a hardware problem. On the Xubuntu image the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and usb-c internet work, but the ethernet port is not recognized. If I connect a cable, the port lights do light up as if it was working.

I reviewed dozens of similar questions on this website. I thought it must be the driver, so I tried downloading a driver from intel and doing make install but I don't really know what the problem is and I got weird errors. I have searched for a step by step troubleshooter but can't yet find one that applies to this situation.

Here's my setup:

One commenter asked to see /etc/network/interfaces. I don't have that file. If I start typing the path and press tab here are the choices:

if-down.d/ if-post-down.d/ if-pre-up.d/ if-up.d/

A commenter asked to see systemctl status networking.service. This is the message I got:

Unit networking.service could not be found.

The output of journalctl -xe. This command produced copious output:

I'm pretty sure that current is my VPN, enx64c902a65521 is a USB-C network connection from a docking station, and it works, wlp0s42f2 is my Wi-Fi adapter and that works too.

A commenter asked what I see in Netplan? Answer:There are two files in /etc/netplan/ 00-installer-config-wifi.yaml and 00-installer-config.yaml

Other commenters asked for this:

Another commenter asked what happens if booting from iso, so I tried that again on April 15, 2023. I only connected the ethernet. results: Xubuntu 22 iso that I installed: network icon has red x, edit connections widget empty. SystemRescue iso: same Then I booted to windows to ensure the ETH card works again-yes.

Another commenter suggested booting from a different kernel, I booted from the oldest kernel available in Grub and that didn't fix the problem.

I have a Dell Latitude 5420 which uses the e1000e driver, and I have never had any issues.

It's curious that your lshw output doesn't shows the device as UNCLAIMED and no driver=e1000e but then your lspci output shows the driver is loaded.

Netplan configuration is irrelevant if the device remains unclaimed by any driver. Focus on that first.

Usually the answer would be just modprobe e1000e but it looks like something else funny is going on. You can maybe try rmmod e1000e; insmod /usr/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/e1000e.ko

Device name should be something like enp0s31f6 by default - make sure you update your netplan config with this.

journalctl -b | grep -iE nic\|e1000e\|net\eth should show you some interesting info, as we as /var/log/syslog and dmesg

The correct module for your Intel card is e1000e. This is shown with the following command where it says Kernel modules: e1000e.

$ lspci -nnk | grep 0200 -A3
00:1f.6 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (13) I219-V [8086:15fc] (rev 20)
    Subsystem: Dell Ethernet Connection (13) I219-V [1028:0a20]
    Kernel modules: e1000e
71:00.0 Unassigned class [ff00]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTS525A PCI Express Card Reader [10ec:525a] (rev 01)

Within this block, the first line of output describes your Ethernet controller, Intel I219-V. The bus ID is at the beginning: 00:1f.6. At the end is the Vendor ID and Device ID: [8086:15fc].

Vendor ID: 8086

Device ID: 15fc

With the following command, you can see that the e1000e module supports your Ethernet controller. I’m using the Device ID as a search pattern.

$ modinfo e1000e | grep 15FC
alias:          pci:v00008086d000015FCsv*sd*bc*sc*i*

The full output of modinfo e1000e will show many aliases that indicate which devices the driver supports. This particular command shows just the alias for your Ethernet controller. Within this alias, you can pick out Vendor ID and Device ID which indicate that the driver supports your card.

v  00008086
d  000015FC

Now if you type in the following command, you should see the modalias for your device, and this will match the alias within the module shown in the output of modinfo e1000e. This device modalias is created dynamically during boot when the hardware is scanned. Notice that the directory structure uses the bus ID listed earlier. (I’m not displaying the output of this command, because I don’t have this device in my computer. But if you type it in, you should see your modalias for your Ethernet controller.)

$ cat /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.6/modalias

Anyway, your problem is not that you don’t have the correct driver or that it isn’t loading. It’s actually loading properly, and this command shows that it’s loaded:

$ sudo lsmod | grep e1000e
e1000e 299008 0

The problem is that it isn’t binding to your card because of the error: NVM Checksum Is Not Valid, which is shown in dmesg.

$ sudo dmesg | grep e1000e

To fix, use the details at this link:

Intel Ethernet Connection I219-V not working under Linux. e1000e driver reports: "The NVM Checksum Is Not Valid" li

After that is fixed, run ip a and you should see that the card up.

lshw -C network will show that it’s no longer UNCLAIMED.

lspci -nnk should show that the driver is now bonded to your device with the line: Kernel driver in use: e1000e.

$ lspci -nnk | grep 0200 -A3
00:1f.6 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (13) I219-V [8086:15fc] (rev 20)
    Subsystem: Dell Ethernet Connection (13) I219-V [1028:0a20]
    Kernel driver in use: e1000e
    Kernel modules: e1000e

Then finally add the network configuration to Netplan.
