Problem with Ethernet drivers

[Jsjskdkd]

System specs
Proccesor: Intel core i5 11600k
Motherboard: MSI Z590-A PRO

So, hi here is my issue, I bought a brand new pc and at the moment I installed Windows 10 I noticed I didnt have internet conncection even when the ethernet cable was connectend and the led was on, naturally I decided to downlad ethernet drivers(https://www.msi.com/Motherboard/support/Z590-A-PRO) from other computer and install them all was ok and my windows system has internet, problem is when I installer a dual boot with Debian 9 (https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/archive/9.13.0/amd64/iso-cd/debian-9.13.0-amd64-netinst.iso) and I tried to download the drivers but in the webpage there are not linux drivers, so I decided to search the linux drivers (Intel Coroporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02)) on internet and I found some(https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...ethernet-network-connections-under-linux.html) But when I run dpk -i "driver name" It says "The file selected is not an debian file" So I dont know how to fix it

you are trying to run a recent machine on an old Linux Kernel, that may not have new enough drivers built in, so i will make 2 suggestions, uodate the Kernel to an LTS version 5.4.142 [or later] alternatively try a different distro, the one with the best selection of modern drivers is MX-19.4.1_x64 “ahs”
the ahs stands for advanced hardware support

Or use Debian 11 I would recommend the Non-Free version available here

Index of /images/unofficial/non-free/images-including-firmware/11.0.0-live+nonfree/amd64/iso-hybrid

As far as those drivers you downloaded from Intel they are a tar.gz file (compressed like zip) you will have to extract the contents which will give a folder called e1000e-3.8.4 open that folder and there is a Read Me file which will tell you how to compile it - you may have to have the necessary prerequisites installed before building it

The drivers may well be in a newer kernel, as Brick said.

However, I've downloaded the linked file. What you need to do is install it the way it describes in the "README" file - not the .rpm method. Well, you could do the .rpm method and then alien it to .deb but that's not a very good solution. Just follow the directions and it *should* work.
