[leaf-user] Also need driver for Intel Pro 1000 MT

2005-06-15 Thread Tibbs, Richard

Sorry to post twice,
but having tried the bering 1.2 intel-gige.o module,
it does not work with the Intel Pro 1000MT gigabit card.
Any driver for bering 1.2 or bering uclibc for this NIC?

Thanks,
Rick.

Have you tried the e1000 driver?

See:

http://support.intel.com/support/network/sb/CS-006120.htm

For the realtek its here

http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloads1-3.aspx?keyword=8169

IMHO a good lab exercise for your students :-)

Thanks, Erich.
I did try the e1000 driver that came with bering 1.2 CD, but it did not
work.
Yes, I will have one of my lab techs do this to make sure it works...
but could be a lab exercise for students as well.

Both the intel and realtek are source tar gz's so we will compile on a
2.4.x system.

This is because Bering 1.2 has an old driver and Intel changed the chipset
enough to require a new version of the driver to come out.  The latest kernel
source or (better) Intel source will work fine.  Bering uClibC will also work
by default if you use later versions.

Note that if you are wanting to use a lot of that gigabit capability be sure
to use a 64-bit slot and the NAPI variant of the driver.  It might be easiest
to ask the uClibC 'krew' to do the NAPI part for you.  Or of course the
student route :).

Regards,

P
