Is the E1000 driver still supported in Linux?
The e1000 driver is no longer maintained as a standalone component. Request support from the maintainer of your Linux* distribution. The Linux base drivers support the 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels. These drivers include support for Intel® Itanium® 2 Processor-based systems.
Is there an Ethernet adapter driver for Debian?
Intel® Network Adapter Driver for PCIe* Intel® Gigabit Ethernet Network Connections Under Linux* This is a Debian DKMS package version of the latest code of Intels e1000e ethernet driver available from https://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/ You should have installed: linux-headers dkms build-essential
Do you need a DCA driver for ETHX?
If you’re no longer getting interrupts in cat /proc/interrupts for the ethX igb device, then this workaround may be necessary. If your kernel supports DCA, the driver will build by default with DCA enabled.
Is the Intel e1000e driver compatible with Intel Pro 1000 P?
NOTE:The Intel(R) PRO/1000 P Dual Port Server Adapter is supported by the e1000 driver, not the e1000e due to the 82546 part being used behind a PCI Express bridge. First identify your adapter. Then follow the appropriate steps for building, installing, and configuring the driver.
How to install a driver for a network adapter?
Install the e1000e driver using the instructions in the e1000esection. Modify /etc/modprobe.conf to point your PCIe devices to use the new e1000e driver using alias ethX e1000e, or use your distribution’s specific method for configuring network adapters like RedHat’s setup/system-config-network
How often does the ETHX igb driver generate interrupts?
Normally the driver will generate an interrupt every two seconds, so if you can see that you’re no longer getting interrupts in cat /proc/interrupts for the ethX igb device, then this workaround may be necessary. To build igb driver with DCA: If your kernel supports DCA, the driver will build by default with DCA enabled.
