From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Description of problem: The e1000 driver which ships with Fedora Core 1 fails to load for the onboard NIC in the Dell Poweredge 700, and fails to load in the Intel Pro 1000MT PCI ethernet card. The new driver from Intel works fine for the onboard NIC, and the PCI card. The working version of the driver is 5.2.39. We built an rpm install for the correct (working) driver. Here is the rpm -ql output: [root@hostname tmp]# rpm -ql e1000-5.2.39-1 /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2188.nptl/kernel/drivers/net/e1000.o.new /lib/modules/2.4.22-1.2188.nptlsmp/net/e1000.o.new /usr/share/doc/e1000-5.2.39 /usr/share/doc/e1000-5.2.39/LICENSE /usr/share/doc/e1000-5.2.39/README /usr/share/doc/e1000-5.2.39/file.list /usr/share/doc/e1000-5.2.39/ldistrib.txt /usr/share/man/man7/e1000.7.gz Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.4.22-1.2188.nptl How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. use the GUI Network config, or insmod the e1000 driver. 2. 3.
