Topic: Compile Intel Driver

[kevinkohler]

Hi Guys,

Hopefully someone can help!!

I am struggling to compile the e1000e driver for the SME server. I have looked for an rpm driver, but no luck.

I have never compiled a driver before, so please bear with me.

I have an fresh install SME Server 7.4 with all updates installed. Centos 4.7.

uname -a

Linux server 2.6.9-78.0.22.EL #1 Thu Apr 30 19:03:25 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

lspci

00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82567LF-2 Gigabit Network Connect         

I have installed the kernel-devel for this kernel and all the gcc things (as per instructions found on the net)

When I try run "make install" in the src driver of the Intel driver I get the following:

Makefile:70: *** Linux kernel source not found in any of these locations:
Makefile:71:
Makefile:72: *** Install the appropriate kernel development package, e.g.
Makefile:73: *** kernel-devel, for building kernel modules and try again.  Stop.

Any ideas??

Thanks, Kevin.

I'm curious as to why you are doing that. SME 7.4 includes an e1000e driver. I'm not aware of any bug reports concerning that driver.

Some more info: There are two network cards in the box (for use in Server + Gateway mode). The Realtek PCI card works 100%. The Intel card is the onboard chip I am trying to get working.

When using the configuration wizard it says the driver is "unknown" for the card Intel Corporation 82567LF-2.

First I tried to select the driver using the wizard "Manually select driver", I could not see one for the 82567LF with the e1000e driver so I tried the nearest one which did not work.

I tried to manually load the e1000e driver using modprobe but it did not work either. (brought up eth1 with /sbin/ifup eth1)

Did I do something wrong?

Thanks!

Only that you didn't report your problem via the bug tracker.

Sorry about that. I have created a bug.
