I have this issue as well when using the FIPS 5.4.0 kernel with 3 Dell models. Precision 7770, Precision 7670, and Precision 3571 all with the I219-LM NIC. I was able to get the source from Intel's website and figured out how to make the e1000e driver, but it does not work well on all the models. The Precision 3571 has a download speed that bounces from 800kb/s to 10 b/s, which is unusable, but it works well on the other models. Unfortunately when you track down the drives the site states that all future drivers will be kernel based and not released otherwise.

Later versions of the HWE kernel do support this NIC. That makes it impossible to use these systems with the FIPS kernel. Since our imaging environment does not have FIPS mode enabled, we need support for this NIC when used both with and without FIPS mode. Please backport the latest stable e1000e driver to both the 5.4.0 non- FIPS kernel & the 5.4.0 FIPS kernel.
