Let me just start out with saying this is the first time I've ever actually compiled something, so its entirely possible I did something wrong.
Anyway I have a debian box here running "Linux 2.6.18-6-amd64" and an Intel EXPI9300PT which uses the 82572GI chipset.
I got the e1000e driver off of
Intel's site and after much frustration got it compiled and loaded.
After using modprobe e1000e, it says Intel Corporation etc etc. However, I don't know where to go from here. Last night the card was somehow getting assigned eth3, but I couldn't get assign an IP to it. Today its not even being assigned an ethx.
Edit: Just a little update after I did rmmod e1000 and modprobe e1000e it came up as eth3. Ipconfig still would not recognize it however until I did dhclient. Which I'm not entirely sure why its working now, but after the dhclient it came up as eth5? and started working.
So I guess now I'm looking at how to make this permanent and load the NIC every time I reboot.
