The i219-LM is the integrated network adapter , the one marked as missing the driver is the one you installed.
You need to download the driver package from intel , unzip it, and manually install the driver in the device manager, pointing it to the extracted driver you downloaded

What driver did you pick exactly? I am trying to get this to work on Win11 in 2024.
