For some reasons I had to install an old version of Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS on a Dell T470s.



The problem is that it does not detect the drivers. Neither Wifi nor LAN.



lspci -n | egrep '0200|0280' | awk 'print$3'


gives:



8086:15d7
8086:24fd


A search on google gave me:



 vendor: 8086 ("Intel Corporation"), device: 15d7 ("Ethernet Connection (4) I219-LM")


which corresponds this link.



The only option for a Linux user is to compile the driver from:



23_1/PRO1000/LINUX/e1000e-3.4.0.2.tar.gz


I cannot build it on a fresh ubuntu with no build software on it. I tried building it on another laptop (16.04) and then copied the compiled files on a USB and followed the other instructions of the manual. When I reached the command



(sudo) modprobe e1000e


I received an error:



modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'e1000e': Exec format error


My problem is that I cannot do any of them:



  • using gcc, make etc. In case any driver is supposed to be compiled. Compiling on another computer fails too (The offline computer did not recognize the binary).


  • Using sudo apt-get install .... You know why.


  • Using apt-offline or any other program that requires installation for itself.


  • Copying deb files from an online computer. As ubuntu avoids downloading deb for a software which is already installed. (I will not uninstall anything from my 16.04 laptop. No second trouble please).


Is there still any chance of survival?
