Network Ports are not detected - Intel® I210IT GbE LAN

(1/4) > >>

jim.software:
My computer (NISE 2400) has two Intel® I210IT GbE LAN ports.  I cannot get TinyCore Plus 6.3 (or TinyCore) to detect these.  The only interface available is "lo".  Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?

FYI - My original TinyCore OS is 4.6.1 and it cannot detect the LAN ports either.

Thanks in advance.
Jim

Hi jim.software
It's possible Tinycore doesn't currently have a driver for your hardware. You may have to compile it yourself, see:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/13663/Network-Adapter-Driver-for-82575-6-82580-I350-and-I210-211-Based-Gigabit-Network-Connections-for-Linux-
A later version can be found here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/igb%20stable/5.2.18/

curaga:
We do ship the IGB driver in the base, but your card could be newer than our kernel. We'd need the pci id to check.

Thanks for the info.  I'll try compiling a driver.

This is the info I have on the NIC:  (taken from a live DVD of Ubuntu)

gerald_clark:
What is needed is the output of "lspci -nn | grep net".
