Hi Phil,

thanks for your quick reply!

No, it actually seems that Intel does not provide drivers for that NIC.

We already started backporting the pch_gbe module from 2.6.38 to the 2.6.18 CentOS 5 kernel, but are stuck right now. The code seems to require the mii module which in turn has changed also meanwhile.
So I could provide this attempt as a code base for the backport. Do you have a separate GIT or Subversion server and maybe a guideline how to commit new (but buggy) code to the elrepo project?


BTW: sorry for this ugly footer below - don't have influence on that..  :-<


Regards
Björn
