Binary patch PCI-IDs: dd bs=1 count=73332 if=e1000e.ko > head dd bs=1 skip=73334 if=e1000e.ko > tail echo -ne \\0336\\0020 > middle cat head middle tail > e1000e.ko
Works only with the 105756 sized binary from Lenny i386 release CDs. You have to modprobe e1000e.ko manually, of course. I like Debian because it puts stability before features. But the difference between regular software features and hardware support is that there is no option of downgrading/keeping the older version. So go ahead and add the PCI-IDs; for hardware there is nothing noble about choosing "unsupported" over "not fully tested, please consider this experimental" .. and btw the drivers survived the Debian installation pretty well with this hack. -- Fruhwirth Clemens http://clemens.endorphin.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
