Depending on the libraries compiled with the drivers of your various distributions, my idea of borrowing the driver from one of them and using it on Bering might not have worked.Because these drivers are fairly old, I didn't try the ones from
these distros. Instead I used the e1000 driver module (v4.3.15) mailed to me by Jacques Nilo (Thanks). If anyone needs this driver too, please drop me an email. Because this driver is now available under GPLv2 and can also be found in upcoming kernel releases, maybe the module will also be available in the next Bering release candidate. BTW, according to
Hopefully Jacques will place it in his development area for download.
This concurs with an email Intel sent back to me. The sourceforge site was put up as an annoucement. Development on the e1000 driver is handled on the NetDev mail list([EMAIL PROTECTED]) or ....through this Intel address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).the sources/diffs of kernel-2.4.20-rc1, the e1000 driver v4.4.12 is included there, even newer version than the one on sourceforge.
Snicker....the scyld.com site updated their website with this at http://www.scyld.com/network/#gigabit.
# Intel Pro/1000 Gigabit. Contact Intel directly for the Linux driver for their gigabit card. They have a e1000 driver distributed under license terms that have changed over time.
