Dell Optiplex 7090 Network Driver

[Tillie]

We recently purchased some nice shiny 7090 SFF (vPro enabled) desktops which came with windows 10 installed, so we re-installed them using our pxe infrastructure which utilises the official ubuntu autoinstall methodology (user-data.yml).

Has anyone else encountered this issue and perhaps come-up with a fix?Are there updated drivers or kernel for these boxes?I see that a version of this box is ubuntu certified but it notes that a special kernel was used: -28613

I was considering trying 21.04 next, but this post seems to describe a very similar issue:New Dell 7090 Tower - Installed Ubuntu 20.10, 21.04 and 21.10 - Getting network packet loss until usb thumb drive plugged in

-ipconfig command shows no IP address, so I use the drvload command to try one of the network drivers. I have found several that work which are loaded on the machine already, have not had to use a USB to copy the drivers over

We have been working on this for about a week now and tried everything we can think of, plus whatever relevant info we found when googling. Any and all help is appreciated, feel free to ask as many questions as you need, I am sure I missed a whole bunch of info. Thanks in advance!!

Create bootable media for your boot image and see if that work, I have had issue with many dell device that the hardware dosnt work right with pxe and the built in drivers of the boot image in most cases using a flash drive to boot to the boot media works just fine.
