Problem with Intel dual port Gigabit network adaptor

Hi All.

I got a New DELL PowerEdge 860 and it comes with a  Intel
model D33682
dual port Gigabit network adaptor. It's a PCI-Express card.
I tried to
install the new version of Bering Uclib 3.1 and I could not
recognize
the card.
Other linux distributions recognize the card with the module
e1000 (I
probed with IPCop it has the same kernel 2.4.34 and works
fine) but when
i make the command i got this error.

#insmod e1000.o
Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 5.7.6-k1
Copyright (c) 1999-2004 Intel Corporation.
insmod: init_module: e1000: no such device.

Any idea what is the problem?
I really want to use Bering because is the best firewall

Thanks,
Fabricio

The driver version for the modern Gigabit cards, the current
one is 
7.6.15.4

I have been able to compile it for 2.4.34 but having no such
hardware it 
is difficult to test the functionality :-(

If you want I can send you my driver off list, as soon as I
am satisfied 
it works I will put it on CVS

cheers

Erich

I've had NO luck getting this driver going, :(

I will be doing a fresh install of one of the variants
(fedora,debian,etc)
or maybe even just a live CD boot to see if it will work
with a "newer"
kernel. From what I've been reading it "might" be
a kernel issue, I have
read a couple of posts where people can't get ANY intel
PCI-E network cards
to work on the 2.4.x strain of the kernel but moving to
2.6.x they do work.
(which sux's for us leaf users). 

I'm still digging, will keep you guys posted.

Cheers

I've tried to install the e1000 you send me but still does
not work. The
message i got is:
#insmod e1000.0
Warning: loading e1000 will taint the kernel: no license
  See http://www.tu
x.org/lkml/#export-tainted for information about
tainted modules

#lsmod | grep e1000
e1000        135029    0(unused)

When I tried to use the module of IPCop i got this message:
#insmod e1000.o
insmod: unresolved symbol irq_stat_R00a9f8bd

I wonder if it is a problem with IRQ, if it is, how can i
send a new irq
when i install the new module?

Unless it is 2.6 there won't be much "newer"

 From what I've been reading it "might" be a

Indeed, it gets more and more difficult to find driver
support for 
current hardware. Some time ago I suggested to have a 2.6
kernel 
variant. I did not have too much time lately to follow up on
this, but I 
might try to get one up with leaf.

cheers

Hi guys 
The problem with my Intel model D33682 dual port Gigabit
network PCI-E
was solved with the drive e1000 I have. 
You can ask for the driver and I will send you.
Thanks to Erich Titl, He was the person who make the nic
works.
The driver was probed in Bering 3.1 kernel 2.4.34


Cheers
Fabricio

No, I just saw that the new driver modules all tainted the
kernel, so I 
was wondering which license type was used. I found that
indeed the 
announced license was GPL, so no reason for a tainted
kernel. I have no 
satisfactory explanation why the comparison for the license
string 
failes unless there is a misalignment of the driver module.
I just tried 
an old 7.6.5 driver that I knew did not show the same error.
I was lucky 

Anyway I am still looking into the problem, unfortunately I
have no 
testbed, so I am all dependent on you guys to try the
compiled modules.

cheers

Erich
