Hi Chris, Assuming you currently don't have the hardware available to run /sbin/lspci -n, thus obtaining the Vendor:Device ID Pairing (the device fingerprint) for the NIC, I can only say that the e1000e driver should support that device. If the distro version of the driver proves to be lacking, then (as Mark has already mentioned) the ELRepo Project has the latest version available as the kmod-e1000e package [1]. Regards, Alan.
