Getting Intel i219-V to work in Debian 12

It works on my system, except that I am using Arch Linux.

However its not recognized by system:

If it's not recognized by your system than the firmware is probably for it is probably not available on the system. So we just need to figure out what firmware blob is needed for the network card, then it will probably show up and be able to use and load the kernel driver for it.

Debian - Intel® I219-V - NIC not detected

I have build a new PC today, however debian installation (10.9.0) cannot detect my onboard NIC. My mobo: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Motherboards/All-series/PRIME-H510M-E/ One LED is

Enable "non-free-firmware" in your sources, then update your source. Then install the package firmware-misc-nonfree, then reboot and check if your intel network card is recognized. If you don't have an internet connection you can just download the deb package form packages.debian.org since it doesn't have any dependencies.

I also came across this reply in another topic about the same intel network card.

i dont know why the hell this happened, i re enabled secure boot in bios and the ethernet just works, i have always disabled secure boot in linux with every pc i have had to avoid problems and now is the opposite

Network:
  Device-1: Intel Ethernet I219-V driver: e1000e
  IF: eno1 state: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full mac: (my mac)

Thank you for trying to help! I tried the secure boot suggesion.
I have non-free-firmware enabled and firmware-misc-nonfree is already the newest version (20230210-5).
I think its debian specific binary related, but I am not sure.

Unrelated:
Just for posterity. I mentioned earlier in the thread that 'nothing is quite right with this system'. This was traced down to a bad ram module from G.Skill, which they promptly replaced and now system is perfect. Plus the CMOS battery was also dead, which was also replaced. EVGA Z590 is a good motherboard, I just wish I didn't have to drain my loop to replace CMOS battery (its under the GPU base).
