The intel drivers unfortunately do not support the 82563EB yet. I had a
look in the latest driver version 6.2.9:
typedef enum {
em_undefined = 0,
em_82542_rev2_0,
em_82542_rev2_1,
em_82543,
em_82544,
em_82540,
em_82545,
em_82545_rev_3,
em_82546,
em_82546_rev_3,
em_82541,
em_82541_rev_2,
em_82547,
em_82547_rev_2,
em_82571,
em_82572,
em_82573,
em_80003es2lan,
em_ich8lan,
em_num_macs
} em_mac_type;
This chip is bundled on both motherboards I have just checked:
http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon1333/5000P/X7DBE.cfm
http://www.intel.com/design/servers/boards/s5000PAL/index.htm
Any idea if an updated driver is supposed to be available one day?
