I recently bought a new CPU (i5 12600) and motherboard (MSI PRO H610M-B DDR4) with Intel 1G LAN (Intel I219V Gigabit LAN controller), the ethernet connection to the router works out of the box on Windows 10/11, but on any Linux distribution it is not even detected. I also installed the drivers officially provided by Intel (e1000e Driver) but nothing, on boot in certain distributions I get this error: "e1000e nvm checksum is not valid". I've read that it works on Windows because it doesn't run this check, am I doomed to use Windows forever?

The e1000 drivers are the correct ones for your card
On the Intel website it says:
Also I don't want to have old drivers for new components:

Have a look here for drivers - https://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/
Already tried with these drivers, but I get problems during the installation and once done, however, nothing changes
That e1000 driver is in the Linux kernel.
So it should at least detect your network card. Can you open a terminal and share the output of the following?
Code:
lspci -nn | grep -i net
ip a

as you can see this is for kernel 6.2.0-rc7

I came across several posts over the internet that mention the following fix but I do have to say I have not tried this since I don't have that network card. Since this fix has worked for more people I do think it can work for you but I do have to say run at your own risk.
1. Download Intel Linux boot utility: https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...-utility-preboot-images-and-efi-drivers.html?
2. Extract it:
3. Enter the Preboot directory.
4. Make the following file executable.
5. Run the file you just made executable.
6. Reboot and your network card should be available.

OK I will now make the same suggestion I usually do, that will often work on newer laptops, download and try MX-AHS [run live from a pen-drive to see if it works]
That networkcard isn't new, it's from 2019 so I doubt the problem won't be there when booting MX Linux with AHS.

ah, but the MSI PRO H610M-B DDR4 is new, so I am gambling on there being something different with it
If it does work I don't recommend installing MX-Linux since that solution forces you to run MX-Linux just because of one hardware component. I would advice to try the other solution as well since it has worked for others that ran into the same issue, that way if it works OP will actually be able to run the distribution they actually want to run.
i got this error:

Damn, it usually works on new kit
You can try downloading the complete driver pack.
1. From https://www.intel.com/content/www/u...apter-complete-driver-pack.html?product=47620
2. Go to the Downloads directory and create a new directory.
Code:
cd ~/Downloads
mkdir extract
Code:
unzip Release_27.8.zip -d extract
Code:
cd extract/APPS/BootUtil/Linux_x64/DRIVER
chmod +x install
Code:
sudo ./install
Code:
cd ~/Downoads/extract/APPS/BootUtil/Linux_x64
chmod +x bootutil64e
Code:
sudo ./bootutil64e -NIC 1 -defcfgJust thinking that installing the iqvlinux driver might not even work since you will most likely need the build-essential package installed which is kind of difficult without a network connection.
