Hi there,
I am having issues with the build-in intel nic. (Intel Corporation I211 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03))
Occasionally after reboot or power on, the NIC state is disconnected and it take a few minutes for the NIC to become active.

As seen it took five minutes for the nic to wake up. I have the same problem with windows 10 (everything updated) - in Windows it says cable disconnected.
Once the NIC is "connect" everything works as expected, full 1Gb/s full duplex - no errors what so ever.
Anyone seen the same behavior? My current BIOS is:1404, but I had the same issues with the ABBA version.
Regards
Nikolay
