Same driver, at any rate, the "PRO1000" drivers. Probably the same thing, that's just what lspci shows it as. The new one has, according to the Linux rescue console, an Intel 82579V. All my attempts to automate it did not work. On my existing Windows Server 2008 R2 machine, it's an Intel 82579LM and the driver details are here - note that this only worked when someone installed them directly. So it seems like Server 2016 still doesn't have the Intel gigabit NIC drivers built-in (which is odd as 90% of those are plug and play). To make this easier on me, I went and bought a second KS3, and I'll let my earlier one expire. Now that Server 2016 is out, I wanted to move my stuff over to that. The Canadian one doesn't do it anymore, especially not for Kimsufi (the cheap servers) They don't officially support Windows Server due to licensing (I have my own license from Imagine, what used to be DreamSpark) - years ago they used to offer an IP-based KVM option for something like 20 euros an hour, and I was able to use that to set the server up.
It took me like two weeks of tinkering and pestering their useless support until I finally got it working - and ironically only by somebody running the Intel network driver setup at the data center. So I currently have a Kimsufi KS3 dedicated server.
