Dear Debian-users list, I have a computer with one Intel I218-LM and two Intel I210 network adapters. The I210's are found correctly, but the I218 isn't.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to get the I218 up and running? I found some (old) information that a newer version of the e1000e kernel module might help, but I would like to stick to the standard distribution files. If it is necessary to update, preferably to some testing packages then... I'm using a fairly standard Debian Stable (jessie) installation. Please see the output of some commands below. root@debian:~# uname -a Linux debian 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.39-1+deb8u2 (2017-03-07) x86_64 GNU/Linux root@debian:~# lspci | egrep -i --color 'network|ethernet' 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection I218-LM (rev 04) 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I210 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03) 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I210 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03) root@debian:~# ls /sys/class/net/ eth0 eth1 lo root@debian:~# lspci -v | grep -i Ethernet -A 15 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection I218-LM (rev 04) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 0000 Flags: fast devsel, IRQ 20 Memory at f7e00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Memory at f7e38000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] I/O ports at f060 [size=32] Capabilities: [c8] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [d0] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [e0] PCI Advanced Features 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI #2 (rev 04) (prog-if 20 [EHCI]) Subsystem: Intel Corporation 8 Series/C220 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI #2 Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at f7e37000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [58] Debug port: BAR=1 offset=00a0 -- 04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I210 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03) Subsystem: Omron Corporation Device 003a Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16 Memory at f7d00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] I/O ports at e000 [size=32] Memory at f7d20000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable+ 64bit+ Capabilities: [70] MSI-X: Enable+ Count=5 Masked- Capabilities: [a0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [140] Device Serial Number 00-00-0a-ff-ff-f8-fe-c5 Capabilities: [1a0] Transaction Processing Hints Kernel driver in use: igb 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I210 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 03) Subsystem: Omron Corporation Device 0039 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17 Memory at f7c00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] I/O ports at d000 [size=32] Memory at f7c20000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [40] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [50] MSI: Enable- Count=1/1 Maskable+ 64bit+ Capabilities: [70] MSI-X: Enable+ Count=5 Masked- Capabilities: [a0] Express Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error Reporting Capabilities: [140] Device Serial Number 00-00-0a-ff-ff-f8-fe-c6 Capabilities: [1a0] Transaction Processing Hints Kernel driver in use: igb Thanks, Siebrand
