@Pascal-Gazaille So far I haven’t found out what could be causing this. Definitely the NIC is not properly recognized/initialized but I am not sure why that is. Posting the most interesting parts of the dmesg output here so maybe someone else has an idea what could be causing this or how to solve it:
...

“Error enabling bridge” to me sounds like this kernel is not happy with the whole PCI bridge (probably not the case as other PCI devices seam to work - but it somehow sounds like it). I am wondering if we can play with and of the kernel parameters to make this work - maybe pci=
. Anyone an idea?
Edit: Just saw that the NICs PCI bus number (03:00.0) matches exactly with what we see in your first picture. Please get back into debug mode and run lspci commands and show us the full output. Will be interesting to see what device 00:1c.2 is. Here is an example of what I see on my laptop:
# lspci -nn | grep "1c.2"
