Bering 3.1.1xx: Searching for Intel e1000e driver

[Juergen Northe]

Hello !
I got a new HP DL 120 Server to replace an old one. ;-)
Now I have added a "Intel Pro/1000 PT Dual Port" PCIe NIC and found out,
that the card needs the e1000e driver but it is not available in the
archive.

In some older posts  (02.2008, 05.2008, 07.2008) there where attempts to
compile the driver downloaded from Intels site, but they where without
success (afaik).

Has anyone done this work with success ?

Thanks a lot!
Juergen

(BTW: if you want to boot this server from usb key,  you have to use
ehci-hcd in place of usb-ohci in initrd.lrp)

Yes I have I have a running driver with the buildtool environment.
Unfortunately I am partially offline and could not reply earlier.

There are soe compile flags needed and a patch to the compat module.
Will give more details later.

Since 3 days, I'm fighting against flu virus and I'm in a poor condition.
So, I was not able to follow Martins hints but I'll do so in a few days.

It would be great to get a pre-compiled e1000e.o module so I can keep on
replacing the old server within a short time.
In fact that the on board nic (bnx2) seems also not to be "supported" by
3.1.1-beta2 version, I'm still waiting for your hints and suggestions
regarding compile flags and patching (for e1000e and -if any- for bnx2).

Hi Juergen,

I replied off board with a compiled e1000.o but the catch is with the PCIe cards the latest intel driver that you can compile against is
7.6.15.5 anything after that won't work.

Cheers
Adam

Hi Adam,
thank you very much for the driver! I'll test it when I am back in office.
Are the other e1000e related modules which I have to load prior?

Nevertheless I'll try to compile the bnx2 driver which is also onboard of
the system.

In my opinion the drivers which comes with the 3.1.1xx require an
update/upgrade for new popular nics, since there a often requests for the
same drivers.
