Can you please also share the output of ethtool -i? I would like to know the NVM version that you have on your device.

Your firmware version is not the latest, can you check with the board manufacturer if there is a BIOS update to your system?
I can check, but still, it's a regression in the Linux driver - old kernel did work perfectly well on this hw. Maybe new driver tries to use some feature that is missing (or broken) in the old firmware?
A little bit of context: I'm maintaining the kernel package for a Qubes OS distribution. While I can try to update firmware on my test system, I have no influence on what hardware users will use this kernel, and which firmware version they will use (and whether all the vendors provide newer firmware at all). I cannot ship a kernel that is known to break network on some devices.
Also, you mentioned that on another system this issue doesn't reproduce, do they have the same firmware version?
The other one has also 1.1-4 firmware. And I re-checked, e1000e from 6.14.2 works fine there.
