    How it became unsupported? Support of hardware is not removed in new kernels unless the hardware is VERY old. – Pilot6 Dec 13 '19 at 22:02
  • This is just because the Server is not listed anymore in list: https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201409-15513; a bit confused because of this the Server is from 2016. But i think this helps, i will try :-) – Peter Franke Dec 13 '19 at 22:04

    This means that it is not certified. Canonical doesn't certify every peace of hardware on every Ubuntu release. – Pilot6 Dec 13 '19 at 22:05
  • ok :-) thank you this helps, i was just insecure because of this – Peter Franke Dec 13 '19 at 22:07
