Hi,
I have a problem with my 8086:1010 Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit
Ethernet Controller (Copper) dual port ethernet card and Ubuntu 22.04.2 LTS
using e1000 driver:

that is in state down of course since both interfaces have MII Status:
down. The dmesg shows:
# dmesg | grep -E "bond0|eth[1|2]"

[ 70.560354] bond0: (slave eth2): Enslaving as a backup interface with a

So both eth1 and eth2 are UP and recognised, ethtool says "Link detected:
yes" but their links are DOWN. I have a confusing port type of FIBRE
reported by ethtool (capabilities reported by lshw are capabilities: pm
pcix msi cap_list rom ethernet physical fibre 1000bt-fd autonegotiation).
It is weird and I suspect some hardware or firmware issue. Any ideas are
welcome.
P.S: It is not the switch or the switch ports and it is not the cables
already tested that. The same setup, switch+cables+card was working fine up
to Ubuntu 18.04
Thanks
