Identifying Your Adapter
========================
For more information on how to identify your adapter, go to the Adapter &
Driver ID Guide at:
http://support.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/21397.htm
For the latest Intel network drivers for Linux, refer to the following
website. In the search field, enter your adapter name or type, or use the
networking link on the left to search for your adapter:

Building and Installation
=========================
To build a binary RPM* package of this driver, run 'rpmbuild -tb
<filename.tar.gz>'. Replace <filename.tar.gz> with the specific filename
of the driver.
NOTE: For the build to work properly, the currently running kernel MUST
match the version and configuration of the installed kernel sources.
If you have just recompiled the kernel reboot the system now.
RPM functionality has only been tested in Red Hat distributions.
1. Move the base driver tar file to the directory of your choice. For
example, use /home/username/e1000 or /usr/local/src/e1000.
2. Untar/unzip archive:
tar zxf e1000-x.x.x.tar.gz
3. Change to the driver src directory:
cd e1000-x.x.x/src/
4. Compile the driver module:
make install
The binary will be installed as:
/lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.[k]o
The install locations listed above are the default locations. They
might not be correct for certain Linux distributions. For more
information, see the ldistrib.txt file included in the driver tar.
5. Load the module using either the insmod or modprobe command:
modprobe e1000
insmod e1000
Note that for 2.6 kernels the insmod command can be used if the full
path to the driver module is specified. For example:
insmod /lib/modules/<KERNEL VERSION>/kernel/drivers/net/e1000/e1000.ko
With 2.6 based kernels also make sure that older e1000 drivers are
removed from the kernel, before loading the new module:
rmmod e1000; modprobe e1000
6. Assign an IP address to the interface by entering the following, where
x is the interface number:
ifconfig ethx <IP_address>
7. Verify that the interface works. Enter the following, where <IP_address>
is the IP address for another machine on the same subnet as the
interface that is being tested:
ping <IP_address>
