 |

Hi, I have problems to get my new gigabit NIC to work under gentoo, this is the products official website:
http://www.usr.com/products/networking/networking-product.asp?sku=USR997902
Under "support", there is a linux driver downloadeable. While extracting it, it turned out to be the r8169 driver from realtek, wich is included in gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.9-r12.
So I just included it, and the card is still not working.
It showed up in lspci, but not using ifconfig -a, while the supplied windows driver works and the card seems to be ok.
After that, I just rebuilt my kernel with every supported gigabit NIC driver included, (not the nice way, I know, but I need to get my server up as soon as possible) and it still doesn't work.
To be sure, I also included the two realtek drivers for 10/100Mbit Cards, still no new result.
Do I have to include support (other than realtek) for 10/100 mbit cards (since it is a 10/100/1000 card) or is it enough to include the r8169 driver and USR is just fooling me?
Or do I have to do anything else to get a gigabit NIC to work?
tia

Thank you very much!
This patch works for me with an USR997902 10/100/1000 Mbps PCI Network Card.
Without that patch, i always had some kernel panics (2.6.10-gentoo-r6). |
