Ethernet not working on a MSI Z390 Gaming Plus

[BalanKFC]

Hello, I’m a new Linux user, first time using Linux and I have a MSI Z390 Gaming Plus motherboard. Ethernet is not working so for the time being I’m using my phone; I’ve already tried to get the e1000e module working but I haven’t had success.
(The module has been loaded has shown by systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service:)

This is the output of inxi -Nazy:

Thanks in advance.

A full inxi output would be more helpful. Have you tried with a different kernel e.g 5.10 LTS (Long Term Support).

Did it work with the Live .iso?

This e1000e seems to be a non very well supported network card.

You could try the AUR and install e1000e-dkms or try the suggestions from the Arch forums [SOLVED] Arch Install ethernet not shown / Newbie Corner / Arch Linux Forums

Or what exactly is not working?

Hi, I’ve installed the 5.10 LTS Kernel and everything seems to be working fine, Thank You Kindly.

Solution in my case:

Firstly you’ll need the 5.10 LTS Kernel and headers; you can install them with this command:

sudo pamac install linux510 linux510-headers

Whenever you’ll want this to load properly you’ll need to reboot, select advanced options in the Grub menu and set the Kernel to this one.

In order to actually install the driver you can run this command:

sudo pamac install e1000e-dkms

There might be a more advanced solution although harder to get working, this is the easy one, I think.

A more complete solution may be found in the Arch forums as suggested by @mithrial.
I hope this helps.
