Prior to 2.6.24, use the e1000 (not e1000e) module. The module included with the kernel is kind of old, I grabbed the source from the following website and compiled the most recent e1000 module. Everything worked perfectly.
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfile … p_id=42302
2.6.24 contains the e1000e module and it works for my adapter. My understanding is e1000e is a temporary kernel thing, and the e1000e module will eventually be merged with the kernel e1000.

Hi,
Got the required Info from there. You were right. I am sorry.
Anyway I have now got or atleast I believe I have got access to source files of e1000e from
http://www.upkg.org/index.php?section=p … ery=e1000e
What do you people feel? Is this fine?
I now need a good guide of how to compile this as a kernel module.
I got one on wikipedia. I havent gone through it. Atleast the name suggests so.
If any of you know a good site please let me know.
Thanks and Regards
Cloud

Hi TDawg,
Thanks for the reply but I guess the page doesnt list what I am looking for. I went through that page and few other related pages and what I concluded is it is for Network cards that Intel makes exclusively and not for the mother board chipset ones.
http://support.intel.com/support/networ … 008441.htm
I believe so because I havent seen anything that resembles the pictures in the link mentioned above.
Do correct me if you feel I am wrong.
Thanks and Regards

the e1000 should work. If not try e1000e -thats the pci express version.
Firstly e1000 doesnot work. I tried it sometime back. About the e1000e, I tried that too.
The kernet that comes with 2007.08-2 (2.6.23.12-3) doesnot have the module as the following suggests
santosh@nebuchadnazzer:~$ modprobe e1000e
FATAL: Module e1000e not found.
I want to compile this module. I have been googling but I have not got any source of e1000e driver. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks and Regards
Cloud

It is listed as an audio device, not Ethernet?

which is the exact output of Linux Mint
In the output of lsmod of Arch there is no e1000 or e1000_ich9. I confirmed it.
Here is ifconfig output:

Also while shutting down, it says,
