had today missing network driver on a Linux Mint 20 (5.4.0-73-generic) with embedded mobo network card
Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (14) I219-V [8086:15fa] (rev 11)
Didn't think that this was possible with a descent new kernel. (5.4)
Motherboard (MoBo) btw is ASRock model: B560M-ITX/ac
would like to share a few command which helped me to
similar for me. I Installed the Ubuntu 18.04.6 server image and had the Intel i219-LM on my Lenovo P350 as unclaimed.
make and gcc was missing in this install also but still the driver installation failed.
sudo apt install linux-generic-hwe-18.04
did the job. After this the driver installation worked for me.
Many thanks - Mark
CMD which help to narrow it down to missing driver
sudo lshw -class network
Which had:
*-network UNCLAIMED
I compared my HW ID 8086:15fa here and according to this https://cateee.net/lkddb/web-lkddb/E1000E.html included in Kernel 5.5–5.11, 5.12-rc+HEAD (so my 5.4 is just one version to old)
here few cmd to check
lspci -knn
sudo lshw -class network
sudo lspci -v
dmesg | grep "00:1f.6" #based on previous output
dmesg | grep "8086:15fa" #based on previous output

Note: needs to be repeated after kernel update.
Also Ubuntu LTS and Linux mint support to use newer kernel (via HWE stack) to avoid the manual install of the driver.
