[SOLVED] Intel 8086:1f41 slackware64 14.0

Is there a driver for this device on stock slackware 14.0? Looking at the modinfo igb, it does not list the device id.

It does:

Code:

bash-4.2# modinfo igb|grep 1F41
alias:          pci:v00008086d00001F41sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
bash-4.2#

To check, please provide output of:

Code:

 lspci -knn|grep -A3 net

If the igb kernel module is not automatically loaded (lsmod|grep ign will tell you that), just modprobe it.

On my install the output of

Code:

modinfo igb|grep 1F41

returns zero results. Which is why i made this thread to begin with.

The output of

Code:

lspci -knn|grep -A3 net

Code:

00:14.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Inten Corporation Device [8086:1f41] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc Device [15d9:1f41]

00:14.1 Ethernet controller [0200]: Inten Corporation Device [8086:1f41] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc Device [15d9:1f41]

00:16.0 USB controller [0c03]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:1f2c] (rev 02)
Subsystem: Super Micro Computer Inc Device [15d9:0828]

And the module igb is not loaded on boot. However, loading it manually does not seem to do the trick either.

Then you could upgrade your kernel & modules (3.10.17-smp here) and/or Slackware as a whole.

Thanks

You'll need to build the kernel yourself I think as it's not the same glibc in Slackware 14.0 vs Slackware 14.1

The stuff to do that is here.

It could be faster to upgrade or install anew Slackware a whole.

PS If not already done you could check this. Also, if you use another kernel you can check for your adapter in /usr/src/linux-<version>/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/drivers/igb.mod.c that writes the info displayed by modinfo.

most probably no need to upgrade glibc

I didn't suggest to do that, but just to rebuild the kernel. But maybe you mean that the OP could try to just install an already built kernel? I didn't try, so I'm not sure about that.

Thanks for all suggestions and help. I can manage from here. Have a good weekend.

Just to clarify, the kernel is in no way dependent on a specific glibc version, you should be fine with just using a kernel+modules from a newer Slackware version.
