Bug Description

SRU Justification:

Impact: Some Intel network cards cannot be used as the IDs are missing from the e1000e driver.

Fix: The patch has been backported from Intrepid and adds the missing IDs to the driver.

Testcase: Boot to Hardy when 82567LM card is present. It is detected with the updated driver, otherwise not.

---

I have made a new ubuntu installation at my new E6500 Dell laptop. Wlan is working but wired lan isnt't working.
I have searched every ware and found much but nothing could help me. I think it is a driver failure ??

Had same issue with Optiplex 760. Below is a link to the download for the linux 2.6 driver for this nic.

Works like a champ.

Ubuntu 8.0.4 x64

I confirm: driver for Intel® 82567 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (default embedded nic of the Optiplex 760) is not in base ubuntu 8.04.2 LTS kernel (2.6.24-23).

You have to :
 * apt-get install build-essential linux-libc-dev linux-headers-2.6.24-23-server
 * download the Intel driver source from Intel.com (see link above)
 * tar zxvf ... cd e1000e-0.5.18.3/src/ && sudo make CFLAGS_EXTRA=-DDISABLE_PCI_MSI install
 * then add 'e1000e' to your /etc/modules and reboot

It should be nice to have this driver integrated in the ubuntu kernel for 8.04.3 ? :)

Confirming this. I also found an upstream bug report in Debian, which I linked. I am also using an Optiplex 760.

lspci -nn shows:
00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation 82567LM-3 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:10de] (rev 02)

I'll most probably file an SRU or backports request, not sure why.

I am told there a power-saving feature in this card that makes it invisible unless using Windows drivers, I am looking into this. I'd rather not use any manually installed or compiled drivers, as I require long term support (LTS :)

For the record, I just tested this in Intrepid using a live CD and it worked just fine.

We have an e1000e driver in Hardy LUM, so it would be a SRU. We will need to check how much change would be required to get that particular hardware working with that.

Sorry, got a bit sidetracked by other issues. It looks like there might be a small change to allow devices with the IDs 8086:10de and 8086:10df. I build a test package with it at placed it at http://people.ubuntu.com/~smb/bug322737/.
If that works, then this would look like a SRU acceptable change. Please let me know.

As the card is working in Intrepid (with the in-kernel driver), I change the linux status to released. For Hardy the e1000e driver is in LUM.

Hi,

Could you please also create an udeb to be used with the installer.

Thanks in advance,

Hi.

I have teseted this fix on a HP dc7900 and it works.

My guess is that this fix should be going into the e1000e driver in the linux-backports-modules package or just update the e1000e driver there to a newer version from intel.

Anyone of them works for me.

As this requires only a few additional IDs to be added to the driver, I have added this to the updated linux-ubuntu-modules and uploaded today. It will be first available in proposed (or you can get it from my Hardy PPA https://launchpad.net/~stefan-bader-canonical/+archive/hardy).
