With this motherboard I simply can't get the ethernet or the wifi to work (or bluetooth, though don't care as much). This board apparently uses the I225-V Intel controller which is spotty at best with Linux from what little I can find on it. What hurts the most is I specifically went with Intel since it seems people prefer it over Realtek, Linux or otherwise.
I've searched as far and wide as I can and tried anything I can find, including distros of just about any description. Arch, Fedora, Ubuntu, you name it, none of them are working and I can't make any progress so it isn't a Mint issue. I've also tried new kernels up to 5.12, nothing changes.
Right now I am using a Ubit wifi PCIE card that I had lying around, and it does give me a connection to post this, though it's only about a third of gigabit speed. But even that has issues - Mint doesn't recognize it each time I reboot. I have to pull it out and put it back in while the PC is off for it to be recognized when I turn the PC back on. That's definitely not a practical solution and I worry that if I get a PCIE ethernet card as a hardware workaround it may do the same... I can't find anything similar if I try to search that problem online.
I guess it should be noted that yes everything works out of the box on Windows, so there isn't a hardware issue. I am just trying to avoid Windows 10, I'm coming fresh from 7 here as the world is slowly leaving me behind
