Dear list, I have here a brand new mainboard (Asus P8P67 Pro) with the new sandy chip on it. If I look into the manual it says there is an Intel 82579 Gigabit LAN chip on-board.
I tried it with kernel 2.6.37 (from kernel.org) and dmesg tells me: e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 1.2.7-k2 e1000e: Copyright (c) 1999 - 2010 Intel Corporation. e1000e 0000:00:19.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18 e1000e 0000:00:19.0: setting latency timer to 64 e1000e 0000:00:19.0: irq 49 for MSI/MSI-X e1000e 0000:00:19.0: eth0: (PCI Express:2.5GB/s:Width x1) bc:ae:c5:b6:9b:8e e1000e 0000:00:19.0: eth0: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection e1000e 0000:00:19.0: eth0: MAC: 10, PHY: 11, PBA No: ffffff-0ff I searched around and found the tip to use a newer driver. I downloaded it here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/e1000e%20stable/1.2.20/ But if I try to compile the driver I get: /usr/src/e1000e-1.2.20/src/netdev.c: In function 'e1000_restore_vlan': /usr/src/e1000e-1.2.20/src/netdev.c:3076: error: 'VLAN_GROUP_ARRAY_LEN' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/src/e1000e-1.2.20/src/netdev.c:3076: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once /usr/src/e1000e-1.2.20/src/netdev.c:3076: error: for each function it appears in.) make[2]: *** [/usr/src/e1000e-1.2.20/src/netdev.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/usr/src/e1000e-1.2.20/src] Error 2 make: *** [default] Error 2 Can here please help someone?
