Thanks. I'd hoped my quad-port would just work, but it had the same problem. I did the tape trick (what year is this?) and it's working. I'm running OpenSense on it and it gets to line speed over my fiber ethernet link, which my t620 plus couldn't do.

edit Celeron J4105.. I'm pretty sure those ebay non-extended versions have wrong info
The extended version ALWAYS has the j5005 processor, with a slient fan.
The slim version can have either the j5005 or the j4105, passively cooled.
I have both a slim and an extended. The performance difference between the j4105 and the j5005 is about 8 to 10 percent.

TIP: if you look at rear images, a slim with 3 x DP's is J5005 whereas 2 x DP's is J4105.
Just went through the 5070 manual. It actually says not to eat the battery. 
My new open box 5070 Extended arrived today. It was indeed as advertised. I immediately loaded Linux Mint on it for testing purposes. As soon as I get a second NIC I'll load PfSense or Opnsense on it. First impressions were very good. It's a lot snappier than I was expecting. Had to make some changes in the BIOS to get Linux loaded but that was no big deal. I also have a low end version on the way, a j4105. It will most likely do HTPC duty.

My first search turned up 1.21 as the latest but I found on Dell's website 1.7, the latest mentioned in this thread is 1.9. I'm confused.
1.21.0 is the latest. It can be found on the dell website.
there is a way for dell to check to see what downloads are available if you are running windows 10.

I just updated to 1.21.0. Pisses me off that I had to temporarily install Windows 10 to do so. Dell can KMA.
Dell lists the 5070 as being compatible with several OS's including Linux but yet only allows Windows 10 to be used for updating the BIOS. The only updater I could find was a .exe file.
You dont have to have windows 10 to update the bios, just a usb stick.
Heres straight from the Dell website:
Updating the BIOS from BIOS Boot Menu (independent of operating system)
Note 1: Before updating the BIOS, ensure that you suspend BitLocker encryption on a BitLocker-enabled system. If it is not enabled on your system, you can ignore this step. For information about how to disable BitLocker, see How to Enable or Disable BitLocker with TPM in Windows at support.dell.com.
Note 2: Do not turn off the power or interrupt the BIOS update process during the update.
Installation
1. Copy the downloaded file to a USB drive. The USB drive does not need to be bootable device.
2. Insert the USB drive into any USB port.
3. Power on the system.
4. At the DELL logo screen, press F12 to access the one-time boot menu.
5. Select BIOS Update in the section.
6. Click Flash from file to browse the USB drive to locate the downloaded file.
7. Select the file and click Submit.
8. Verify the existing system BIOS information and the BIOS update information.
9. Click Update BIOS.
10. Review the Warning message and click Confirm Update BIOS! to proceed with the update.
The system restarts and displays a progress bar at the Dell logo screen.
The system restarts again when the update is complete.
When i updated my 5070s i used an 8 gig usb stick formatted as fat32

You use the same exe file on the usb stick.
That is how i upgraded mine.
