Bug#705959: Intel i210/i217 driver backport

[Jort Koopmans]

Hi,

The Intel i210 is becoming very common nowadays, with the 7.5 point
release coming up (26th of April), is this going to be included?

Kind regards,
Jort

Bug#705959: Intel i210/i217 driver backport

[Arnaud Launay]

Agreed.

All of the recent servers and motherboards we got are useless
under Debian stable. This is very frustrating.

For example, on our Gigabyte H87N, there are *two* different
network chipsets, and *none* are supported !

00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection 
I217-V [8086:153b] (rev 04)
03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Qualcomm Atheros AR8161 Gigabit Ethernet 
[1969:1091] (rev 10)


Arnaud.

Bug#705959: Intel i210/i217 driver backport

[Dominik Dausch]

Hi,

is it planned to fix this bug with a driver backport in the next point release?

Currently Debian 7 is not installable on almost all new Supermicro Intel 
Haswell server mainboards, because they all have i210 / i217 NICs.

Would be great if Debian could be installed on this new popular plattform 
without using Backport kernels.
