The e1000 driver should be in the 8.1 kernel:
$ modinfo e1000
filename:
/lib/modules/4.18.0-147.3.1.el8_1.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000/e1000.ko.xz
version: 7.3.21-k8-NAPI
license: GPL
description: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver
author: Intel Corporation, <linux.nics@xxxxxxxxx>
rhelversion: 8.1

Thanks for the suggestion. Modinfo does produce that result. But
"the network doesn't work". My environment is a VirtualBox VM of
Centos 8 on top of Windows 10. I've defined a bridged adaptor. The
hardware is the Broadcom adaptor, using DHCP. No firewall is running
in Centos 8 yet. This exact configuration works fine with Centos 7.
The symptom I see is that DHCP, Ping, DNS Lookup all work, but no
data transfer seems to work. I tried a CURL command to a local web
machine (works with Centos 7), and it just hangs. The web server
does not see the request.
When I switch the network adaptor (in the VM) to NAT, everything
works, probably indicating that the selection of the adaptor is the
problem. I used the NAT interface to complete the install. Do you
have any ideas?
David
