Ubuntu Core 20 edge pc-kernel not supporting Intel IGC device

Hi everyone,

I have a devtesting Lenovo SE10-I unit on-hand, and it appears that the Intel Ethernet ports is not supported on Core20?

I can manually modprobe the IGC driver, but the kernel does not detect the two Ethernet ports. output of lspci:

The current kernel version from 20/edge (pc-kernel):

Linux ubuntu 5.4.0-167-generic #184-Ubuntu SMP Tue Oct 31 09:21:49 UTC 2023 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

It appears that the normal “Ubuntu Focal LiveCD” uses a 5.15 kernel, which is detecting and using those Ethernet devices with the IGC intel driver.

I have a feeling that this is some sort of bug, or the pc-kernel needs a upgrade?

Hi, UC22 have kernel 5.15 available. Did you tried this release?
