Unfortunately the various chips supported by e1000e are all subtly different and each new chip seems to need extra code in the driver. Debian 9 still has Linux 4.9 and we haven't backported those driver changes. There is supposed to be an optional installer build that uses a newer kernel version, but that hasn't officially happened yet. At this point you might be better off using the alpha release of the installer for Debian 10 "buster". Ben. -- Ben Hutchings When in doubt, use brute force. - Ken Thompson
