maybe the GbE region got wiped? That would result in ethernet not working

[WiktorG351]

Well I'm not exactly sure about the GbE region on that particular platform.
But when booting DTS v2.0.0 through USB, the internet works just fine.
It's when we boot through iPXE that we get the issue.
Surely this can't be caused by a firmware issue?

Do you have an educated guess here?

Have we tried a more recent version as well? We have another report that the problem is present in the latest DTS version as well.

Could be something related to the broken reset issue in i219, maybe Linux is having trouble taking over the adapter after iPXE? From the linked dmesg:

[   20.015245] e1000e 0000:00:1f.6 eno0: Reset adapter unexpectedly
[   23.831647] e1000e 0000:00:1f.6 eno0: NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: None
[   25.776717] e1000e 0000:00:1f.6 eno0: Detected Hardware Unit Hang:

looks pretty suspicious

The issue also occurs on DTS v2.1.3. Could be a driver issue. What network driver are we using?
