1 I agree, I have an i210 (same family as i211) here working on a Manjaro distribution with the igb driver.
2 (sorry for top posting, I still can’t get this mailer to do what I want)

10 Hello,
11
12 The i219 is a completely different (and much older) chip; the right driver for the i211 is definitely igb.

14 That said, I think the OP should first make sure the onboard LAN is enabled in the BIOS and then post the output of "lspci -tv".

19 I have Asus X570-pro MB with Intel I211-AT network

23 lsmod |grep igb is not showing anything.

25 Not sure how close the I211 is to the I219, but lspci -k shows;

31 If i were you i'd just compile all these suggestions as modules and see what gets loaded.
