Hi

I got a rather new Dell Computer in my office.
Problem here is that the Onboard Ethernet Controller (E1000E ) is not supportet by Xen-kernel and older Gentoo-kernel <linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r3.
Even the latest 2007.0 Livecd does not support the Networkcard, which is really a shame !!!
But i got it working with the latest gentoo-sources "linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r3" there it is included.

I tried to copy the E1000E directory in the sources from linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r3 and modified the Makefiles in the upper directory to include them.
Code:

cp /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r3/drivers/net/e1000e /usr/src/linux-2.6.20-xen-r6/drivers/net/e1000e

Then i did search the tree where i have to add lines so that it get compiled

Code:
aoe@vie-aoe2 /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-gentoo-r3 $ fgrep -R E1000E *
drivers/net/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_E1000E) += e1000e/
drivers/net/Kconfig:config E1000E
drivers/net/e1000e/Makefile:obj-$(CONFIG_E1000E) += e1000e.o


and added this lines to the Files in /usr/src/linux-2.6.20-xen-r6

but when i them compile i get this errors:

make[2]: *** [drivers/net/e1000e] Error 2

So how can i downport this etherent driver to xen-sources 2.6.20-r6 ??

Or can someone tell me if this possible at all ??

Ciao

Shiny new pcie intel card arrived this morning for my gentoo-xen box!

Imagine my delight when the e1000 module doesn't pick it up, and then i google to find this thread amongst others.

I'll post back once i get it working...
