Description of Problem: Intel's newest Gigabit Ethernet cards are the PRO/1000xT. The pci id is as follows: 01:0c.0 Class 0200: 8086:1008 (rev 02) 01:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation: Unknown device 1008 (rev 02) The RC1 e1000 driver does not detect this card. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel 2.4.7-2
Unfortionatly, it's not THAT simple ;) Intel uses the PCI ID to set an Adapter->MacType variable, which in turn determines how the physical interface is programmed. Most likely, this device resembles another one already in that list. All is simple if the chip is a 82543GC and this is trivial to add; if the chip is a 82542 then Intel needs to get involved for information. Could you check which chip this board/device has ?
This defect is considered SHOULD-FIX for Fairfax.
This defect is *now* considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax.
We are waiting for Intel
We have a driver and permission to ship it, now we just need to review and integrate (as long as we are satisfied, of course) the driver.
reviewed and integrated last night; will get a kernel with it to Dell today
Installed on new 1500SC. Kudzu picked up and identified the LOM correctly and inserted the e1000 module.
