Hi

I have boxes with a quad card that shows up with

e1000 e1000_probe: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection

However since rebuilding a box from 4.7 to 5.3 this card has vanished - 
I would have thought this card is pretty generic so i dont believe there 
are not drivers for it -

Any other thoughts? It does not show up at all in messages etc, and 
ethtool knows nothing of it either.

thanks
