Code:
/usr/share/misc/pci.ids is read-only, exiting.
Besides...just to make clear. Does e1000e run ethernet controller or network controller? |
I always use the SysRescueCD instead of the Gentoo installation media. I know the update-pciids works on that. I just assumed it would work on the Gentoo CD... guess not.
I'm guessing, but I think the unknown network controller in your lspci output is actually the Intel wireless controller. In my lspci, the "network controller" is my atheros card:
| Code: | 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: nVidia Corporation MCP78S [GeForce 8200] Ethernet (rev a2)
07:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Device 002a (rev 01) |

Interesting. Do you have a link for that info? I wonder if there is any relationship to the intel-i810, mesa, xorg, gem mess.
I'm so glad I exchanged my Intel based laptop for an Nvidia based chipset/graphics card - for now anyway. |
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/9/29/365 - starting from here (more or less).
As I told you this is only suspect, and when I checked it yesterday, developers are not sure if realtek,nvidia cards are sure, because it might not be e1000e only problem.
According to nvidia card - check this out: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/1/212 . I haven't traced this topic because I don't have nVidia chipset, only nVidia graphics.
Besides, I would be really glad to hear, that if this is X + kernel related problem one of the solution is just use stable version of xorg (7.2?).
BTW. Was the e1000e module from 2.6.26 and 2.6.27 changed? |

| The nvidia instance was still using an ICH chipset and a nvidia quadro graphics card - Thinkpad T61. Xorg was 7.4. So it's still e1000e, ICHx and 2.6.27. |
