hi

I've done following:

1.) download the driver:
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scri...inux*&lang=eng

2.)

# tar zxf e1000-6.0.60.tar.gz
# cd e1000-6.0.60
# cd e1000-6.0.60/src
# make install
# modprobe e1000

3.) create in /etc/network/interfaces following entries:

# The secondary network interface
# Intel Pro Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.2.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.2.255
network 192.168.2.0
gateway 192.168.2.1
name Ethernet 1000MB LAN-Karte

greetings

but still get the following error:

Code:

# modprobe e1000
# ifconfig eth1 up
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: Kein passendes Gerät gefunden

know someone what's wrong and howto solve this problem ?

the e1000 is in the kernel built as a module, why download the source?

cccc · 02-25-2006, 07:39 AM

yes, but what can I do now ?

Code:

# modprobe e1000
# ethtool eth1
Settings for eth1:
Cannot get device settings: No such device
Cannot get wake-on-lan settings: No such device
Cannot get message level: No such device
Cannot get link status: No such device
No data available

this network card works under windows without problems.
knows someone howto solve this problem now ?

Can you post the output of ifconfig -a ?
Maybe we will discover something cool, like your card is eth0

Thanks

OK, here are a few suggestions, I have no idea if they can help :

1) Check if the module if really loaded
lsmod | grep e1000

2) Add alias eth1 e1000 to /etc/modutils/aliases

3) After your run modprobe e1000, run depmod -ae, too.

I've downloaded & installed the driver again and it seems to work now.
