Hello all,

I was wondering if someone could help me with an odd problem...

I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre M92P Desktop PC, which has an Intel Onboard LAN Card that doesn't want to initialize and I don't know what the hell is the problem with it...

I'll post some of my configs:

lspci:

infosky [~] # lspci |grep Etherne

Ubuntu version:
Code:
Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
In BIOS, the Oboard LAN is enabled and LAN Booting is Disabled.

All updates are already performed.
System up-to-date. LAN Card not recognized by driver, I assume.
Something has to do with that "probe of 0000:00:19.0 failed with error -2" which I don't know what it means.

I was thinking about installing Intel's drivers from their website but this seems a little too much to do.
The drivers should be naturally integrated in the kernel.
If I install manual drivers, then this means that everytime I get a kernel update I must manually reinstall drivers ? This sucks...

If anyone can lend a helping hand, it would be very appreciated...

Thanks !
