Public bug reported:

The installer initrd is missing the i40e modules for ethernet cards like
the Intel X710.  I was able to grab the latest from Intel's site,
compile the driver, respin the initrd, and get the installer to work:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24411/Network-Adapter-Driver-
for-PCI-E-40-Gigabit-Network-Connections-under-Linux-

Can we include the i40e module into nic-modules so that the debian-
installer netboot kernels will work on this card?

Thanks,

Ant
