Hi, Bastian ! Thanks for your swift reply, appreciated. Well, I have been using this Intel-card for several years now (I think at least 2 years), going through Deb 12 / 13 / even Sid and never got any issues. I think it broke yesterday, when I updated my Forky and kernel 6.17.11 got in. At first, I wondered if it was my router or switch that needed a reboot :) To confirm, I don't find this being a hardware fault, since the card continues working under Win11 (from which I am now writing to you).
Debian's boot goes normal, the ixgbe-driver load succeeds and the desktop gets fully loaded (Plasma 6). I was at something, when I suddenly got network issues - browser stopped loading, or was it Steam ? Anyway, it was exactly then, when I fired up dmesg and saw these lines : "Adapter removed Warning firmware error detected FWSM: some hex" I need to reboot my machine, boot Deb with this NIC again, so that I provide you with the exact dmesg-messages. Please, tell me what log(s) you need to collect, since I generally do not configure logging and rarely look at logs, thanks !
