Missing network kernel driver (E810) on the host after TDX setup

hector-cao opened this issue · comments

We are configuring TDX on a Dell R760 system with Ubuntu 24.04, following github instructions: https://github.com/canonical/tdx

On this Dell system we have configured the Intel E810 Network adapters with the 24.04 default kernel 6.8.0-31-generic.
But we are seeing instead that on the TDX enabled kernel 6.8.0-1004-intel there is no kernel module for the network adapters.

Apparently the support is configured as a module (in /boot/config06.8.0-1004-intel) but actually the ko file is not there in /lib/modules/6.8.0-1004-intel/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel …

Thank you for reporting us your feedback!

E810 network driver is only available in the modules-extra package and it is not installed at the -intel kernel
installation (for -generic kernel, we DO install the modules-extra package)

To avoid this situation that might happen for other kernel modules, we decided recently to also install the
modules-extra package for -intel kernel as part of the -intel kernel installation. This fix has been done and is
on the way to be released (ETA : beginning of June)

In the meantime, we will modify the setup script to install the modules-extra,
