It gets even more weird: I had the NIC daughter card replaced, and the
problem still exists. I think I will use the machine in production as
it is now. Since I'm not using 4 ethernet ports, for me the issue is
not blocking. I hope someday someone encounters the same problem and
finds a solution.
This story has a happy end. I fixed it by running the firmware
installer. The firmware installer is in the 'Lifecycle controller' BIOS.
It can download the firmware from a dell ftp server, and allows a
firmware 'upgrade' even if the newest firmware version is the same as
currently installed.
Now that I can restore the situation, I could replay this again if
anyone is interested. I could install the firmware-linux-nonfree package
and see if the problem occurs again. I will have physical access to this
machine on Wednesday only. After that, it's co-located.
Greetings, Casper
