Leann, Sorry for being late to respond but private matters kept me from answering earlier. I've now confirmed that the e1000e.ko shipping with Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy *DOESN'T* work for me, whereas the latest driver from e1000.sf.net does. Log excerpt:
May 18 10:41:10 ubuntu-ws kernel: [ 348.097371] e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 0.2.0 May 18 10:41:10 ubuntu-ws kernel: [ 348.097378] e1000e: Copyright (c) 1999-2007 Intel Corporation. This is all that will be in the logs after loading the e1000e.ko shipped with Ubuntu. After compiling version 0.2.9.5 from e1000.sf.net and manually loading the new kernel module, the log looks like this: May 18 10:45:29 ubuntu-ws kernel: [ 606.857687] e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 0.2.9.5 May 18 10:45:29 ubuntu-ws kernel: [ 606.857693] e1000e: Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Intel Corporation.
