Dear Debian-users list, I have a computer with one Intel I218-LM and two Intel I210 network adapters. The I210's are found correctly, but the I218 isn't. Can anyone give me some advice on how to get the I218 up and running? I found some (old) information that a newer version of the e1000e kernel module might help, but I would like to stick to the standard distribution files. If it is necessary to update, preferably to some testing packages then...
A 4.9.18 kernel from jessie backports would likely be more compatible with stable than a kernel from testing. Note that stretch is almost released (it will soon be the new stable) and contains the same kernel. If you are not ready to upgrade, then jessie backports is in my view your best option for an upgraded kernel:
