[solved] Intel I211 driver, how to install

Hi,

I am trying to install a driver for  an unrecognized Network adapter (PCI).

Currently ip -l does not show the device but I am certain it is a an Intel I211

I have downloaded the source from the Intel site (igb-5.7.2)

On compiling the source I get an error:

/root/Downloads/igb-5.7.2/src/igb_main.c:6622:9: error: implicit declaration of function ‘random_ether_addr’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration]
 6622 |         random_ether_addr(mac_addr);

The full output is shown below.

How can I install the driver for the Intel I211?

Re: [solved] Intel I211 driver, how to install

It should already be built into the kernel. What's the output of...

lspci -v -nn

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Re: [solved] Intel I211 driver, how to install

Hi,

While the adapter was indeed an I211, it was, in fact, defective.

Returned to vendor.
