Hi Brandon,
I copied over a more recent code for the NIC.
And it loads fine on the two systems.
The code is currently in /home/ajitkhaparde/bnxt_en-1.10.1-216.1.142.0
Till I find a release version of the driver for Ubuntu, we could use this?
We can copy the bnxt_en.ko over to
/lib/modules/4.15.0-112-generic/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/broa
dcom/bnxt/bnxt_en.ko

Please let me know.

Thanks
Ajit
