Intel Ethernet Card not recognized

[Flux45]

nevermind...im stupid

[rreese6]

ok

[Flux45]

sudo make install

btw if it works with out the script, don't run it. the script basically detects when the wire is plugged in without rebooting if you don't have it plugged in doing boot. I had to use it on my main system

ok...i did sudo make install and get:

cannot write to /var/cache/man/cat7/e1000e.7.gz in catman mode e1000e

[rreese6]

close the terminal, open a new one and follow the instructions again.

in the readme file where it says:
" Compile the driver module:

# make install"

the # means that you root, for ubuntu we use sudo at the $ prompt,
so at that step type sudo make install.

[rreese6]

Oh and use modprobe not insmod
insmod would mean that you have to do this every time the kernel is updated.
you can add the options to /etc/modprobe.d/modules if need be, but we will do that later if necessary.

deleted all files, redownloaded, restarted, unpacked and reinstalled...
still same error message as before

[Flux45]

anyone else have any suggestions?

[rreese6]

of course since modprobe does not want to take the options.

cd /etc/modprobe.d
sudo touch e1000
sudo nano e1000

once in nano add this line:

options eeprom_bad_csum_allow=1

then CTRL X to exit, save buffer Y
and enter.
then

sudo modprobe -r e1000
sudo modprobe e1000

then change directory to where you downloaded my script.

sudo ./e1000-mod-script

it will tell you to reboot
this should work, I just uninstalled my module on my main system and did this and it works.

If anyone else sees an error in my post please PM me and advise here...Thanks

ok to sum up, im going to, after entering sudo -s and using e1000e instead of e1000e (is this ok? the intel installer README says it is using e1000e):

tar zxf e1000e-x.x.x.tar.gz

cd e1000e-x.x.x/src/

make install

cd /etc/modprobe.d

touch e1000e

nano e1000e

options eeprom_bad_csum_allow=1

CTRL X

save buffer y? do i have to do anything here?

rmmod e1000e

modprobe e1000e

so after I do this, u suggest running the script, however, do you think this will be effective since I seem to be using e1000e throughout the install...

[Flux45]

Follow my link download driver then
run the attached module script after you remove the ".txt" at the end. then reboot

also for this file (if i end up needing it, which it looks like i do) do i need to ADD and extension or just run it with ./e1000-mod-script
