Pretty sure it is a kernel bug, since I can make it go away on a similar system by downgrading to linux 5.9.x.

I was hoping that the problem was transient and might have been fixed in the intervening week, but I still got the same result: "No Ethernet card was detected." Do I need to file a bug report? If so, to which package? If I do, is there any chance it will be fixed before Bullseye is released into the wild? Is there a known workaround that I can apply? Thanks for any help! Rick

I'm having a similar issue on a hummingboard-i2ex (which is kind of like a single-board-computer variant of the Cubox-i) on an already installed system running linux 5.10.x, while 5.9.x works fine on that system, so seems to be a regression in the kernel. > I couldn't find anything that looked like an Atheros 8035 driver, which seems > to be the one in use when I boot with a working system. Pretty sure it is not atheros, but handled by: drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fec_main.c Not sure what exact module or built-in that ends up in. live well, vagrant signature.asc Description: PGP signature

It booted fine but when it got to the "Detect network hardware" phase, it failed and said: No Ethernet card was detected. If you know the name of the driver needed by your Ethernet card, you can select it from the list. Driver needed by your Ethernet card: and gave a long list of available ethernet drivers. I couldn't find anything that looked like an Atheros 8035 driver, which seems to be the one in use when I boot with a working system. Any suggestions? Thanks!
