How to get Intel I210-T1 working on CentOS 8?

Question

linux

Problem: I can't get the I210-T1 network adapter to work on a server running CentOS 8.

Introduction and my setup steps :

1. Hardware : asus z170i, NIC plugged into PCIEX16 slot
   
2. OS : CentOS 8, Linux core 4.18.0-147.8.1.el8_1.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Apr 9 13:49:54 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
   
3. lspci-nn | grep Eth :
   00:1f.6 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (2) I219-V [8086:15b8] (rev 31) - Motherboard NIC
   01:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation I210 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1533] (rev 03) - problematic NIC
   
4. NIC driver : https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/13663/In...
   
5. How to install the driver :
   
   • cd /home/user/Downloads
     
   • rpmbuild -tb igb-5.3.5.42.tar.gz
     
     rpmbuild output

     everything seems to be fine except for a couple of Warnings. Successful:
     warning: Macro expanded in comment on line 15: %define debug_package %{nil}
     /sbin/ldconfig: Warning: ignoring configuration file that cannot be opened: etc/ld.so.conf: No such file or directory
     
     
   • cd /root/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/
     
   • rpm -Uvh igb-5.3.5.42-1.x86_64.rpm
     
   • dnf localinstall igb-5.3.5.42-1.x86_64.rpm
     
   
   
6. The output according to the installed module, swears only for the lack of a signature, as I understand it, this is the norm
   
   dmesg | grep igb

   [ 3.595657] igb: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.

7. I see the required NIC in ifconfig in the RUNNING status, HOWEVER, the ip address, etc. he did not receive, unlike the built-in NIC:
   
   ifconfig enp1s0

   enp1s0: flags=4163 mtu 1500
   ether 68:05:ca:b0:bc:1b txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet)
   RX packets 6804 bytes 2043334 (1.9 MiB)
   RX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 frame 0
   TX packets 0 bytes 0 (0.0 B)
   TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0
   
   
8. I'm trying to configure the NIC through the nmtui utility , but when I open it, I don't see this adapter in the list at all

At this point, I finally got stuck with the setting. I found articles that in such a problem it helps to specify the start parameter "acpi = off", but this did not help.
I have no idea what to do next, since such manipulations with drivers and kernel modules are new to me, and on the Internet there are only "next> next> done" instructions that are not applicable in this situation.

Please help me figure it out. It seems to me that I'm a couple of teams away from solving this big NIC setup problem, but I don't see the right way point-blank.

Answer 1

but simply, in the forehead
nmtui - edit connections - add - Ethernet
well, specify the parameters of the new adapter there, its poppy address looks like 68:05:ca:b0:bc:1b
