Please upgrade the Intel e100 driver to v1.2.1-build1, from v1.0.7 that is in pinstripe. v1.2.1-build1 adds support for additional Intel NICs that are forthcoming.
All I find (at http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/100Linux.htm I don't know where you were looking) is 1.1.1, not 1.2.1build1. Could you give me a url for the 1.2.1-build1 version?
1.2.1-build1 needs to be obtained from Intel development directly. I can't provide it to you (unfortunately). The 1.1.1 driver on their web site is pretty good, but doesn't include support for some upcoming cards. Intel's NIC group should be in discussion with Red Hat already on obtaining drivers on a regular basis (so Intel claims).
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Winston Release-Candidate #1
OK, got a copy of the 1.2.1 driver from Intel, and integrated it into our current kernel source.
Do you have preproduction eepro100 cards you want to test with the latest driver? In case you do, you should know that the kernel I'm putting up for you to test the e1000 driver also has the latest e100 driver.
Yes, we can test this driver with preproduction NICs. Thanks for including it in the kernel.
Matt, the 2.2.16-19.1 kernel has not changed the e100 driver relative to the 2.2.16-19 kernel you got earlier.
Since this is in, I'm closing this. Open a new bug report if you find bugs in the driver. Thanks!
