Dear Pavel,

In v4.15-rc2+, network manager can not see my ethernet card, and manual attempts to ifconfig it up did not really help, either.

Card is:

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit
Ethernet Controller

Dmesg says:

Any ideas?

I am sorry for jumping in on this so late.

Since using a Lenovo X60t more ofter since a year or so, I experience the issue, that the link doesn’t come up during that period occasionally [1]. I haven’t tried the latest patches yet, but it might be unrelated.

Did you test, that removing and loading the e1000e module fixes the issue?

Additionally, I was asked privately to test the out of tree driver, but haven’t had time yet.

You might give the out-of-tree driver a try, you can download it here
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/26549/Intel-Network-Adapter-Driver-for-PCIe-Intel-Gigabit-Ethernet-Network-Connections-Under-Linux-?product=19297
 It's version is 3.3.5, dated 8/2016

Kind regards,

Paul
