More on kernel mode drivers

I needed support for Intel's latest gigabit Ethernet adapters, so I built the latest e1000e driver.  Thanks Intel !!!   

This driver needs no separate firmware and is a direct update replacement for the e1000e kernel mode driver installed in 3.8.10 kernel.


Now supporting the all Intel controllers made within the last few years incl. Intel's latest Gigabit Ethernet adapters  (the I217 adapter is the controller included with Intel's latest Haswell chip on many new boards).

Intel® 82563 Gigabit Ethernet PHY
Intel® 82566 Gigabit Ethernet PHY
Intel® 82567 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Intel® 82571EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Intel® 82572EI Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Intel® 82573E Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Intel® 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Intel® 82573V Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Intel® 82574 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Intel® 82577 Gigabit Ethernet PHY
Intel® 82578 Gigabit Ethernet PHY
Intel® 82579 Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Intel® 82583V Gigabit Ethernet Controller
Intel® Ethernet Connection I217-LM
Intel® Ethernet Connection I217-V
Intel® Ethernet Connection I218-LM
Intel® Ethernet Connection I218-V
Intel® Gigabit CT Desktop Adapter
Intel® Gigabit PT Quad Port Server ExpressModule
Intel® PRO/1000 PF Dual Port Server Adapter
Intel® PRO/1000 PF Quad Port Server Adapter
Intel® PRO/1000 PF Server Adapter
Intel® PRO/1000 PT Desktop Adapter
Intel® PRO/1000 PT Dual Port Server Adapter
Intel® PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Low Profile Server Adapter
Intel® PRO/1000 PT Quad Port Server Adapter
Intel® PRO/1000 PT Server Adapter

While I can reluctantly wrap the new e1000e driver up in an extension,  really is best to replace the original e1000e kernel module with the new build.

Keep up the good work there aus9,  am looking forward to an epdfview for tc-5.x 

 8)

aus9:
epdfview for tc-5.x will be submitted once  I have no build errors for gtk2-dev
epdfview-printer is much delayed and a low priority until all cups in 4x and re-built then 5x
---if no objections or suggestions are rec'd. But its likely that package will either depend on cups-148 or cups (the bloat editon) to offer wireless support

feedback is welcome.

2) heck, if I go split cups, I could also submit
cups-148

cups.org has some server issues but we have the src.bz2 file, maybe our TCZ checker will accept a build script based on it
That will solve the bloat. Whether builders then choose to use it and keep their own dependency bloat issues low is up to them.  ;)

re your suggestion on weechat

--- Quote ---I'd suggest that weechat is recompiled to use the newer gnutls, rather than gnutls2
--- End quote ---
my bloatware cups use

--- Quote -----enable-ssl --disable-gnutls --enable-openssl
--- End quote ---
for 4x (then assume 5x) would you prefer to see that I enable gnutls?

bmarkus:
When you have a choice use openssl instead of gnutls
