Hi, I started to try yesterday, and finished today, and I'm very surprised here. I just used the package linux-source-2.6.26 from Lenny, unpacked the resulting archive in /usr/src, did make-kpkg, dpkg -i of the resulting image, mkinitrdfs, edited my grub menu.lst and rebooted. The I was expecting my e1000e to not work at all. But it did work, without applying any patch. The issue here is NOT my laptop (in fact, I don't care my laptop, I run the newest kernel 2.6.30 on it). I want to have the Debian kernel to work on the core i7 boards of Supermicro, the X8STi-3F, that has 2 e1000e boards. Last time my employee Felix in Singapore tried the Debian installer CD in our hardware supplier place in Singapore, it did NOT recognize the network board. So I'm wondering, did somebody applied some patches for e1000e between the release of Lenny 5.01? Or maybe, the e1000e on the X8STi-3F is different from the one of my Thinkpad t500? Is there even different versions of the board at Intel? I'd appreciate some pointers here. It's really so important for our business to have this issue solved, and I guess that I'm not the only one that desperately need to run the Debian Xen kernel with e1000e (running custom made Xen kernels is not an option as we have too many servers in production).
