GTR 9 Pro Ethernet Malfunction under load

DrDre

In order to utilize GTR Pro full potential for AI applications, I’m required to install Ubuntu 24.04 along with AMD ROCm (which is not supported on windows 11).

After installing Ubuntu, I noticed a recurring problem with the built in ethernet adapters. Whenever the computer encounters load on the GPU, the ethernet card would crash and the only way to get it to work again is to unplug my machine from power.

It seems that other users of GTR Pro are also experiencing this issue:

Linux Kernel is 24.04c oem as required by ROCm
Things I’ve tried:

Installing the ubuntu LAN driver version 6.0.6 provided in the beelink driver package - fails under ubuntu 24.04
Installing the latest LAN driver from Intel website - The ethernet card still crashes
Installing an older version (6.1.4) - The ethernet card still crashes.

Please advise as this makes the machine unusable as a server under Linux. It happens on gaming distributions such as Bazzite, as well.

I am on manjaro linux, and it seems like you can just use the intel default package for nvm updates for the 610 NIC (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/845408/non-volatile-memory-nvm-update-package-for-intel-ethernet-e610-series-linux.html) to flash it to 1.30. Just make sure you can see the nic with lspci before you start (if not, coldstart).
