Intel 1000PRO Lan on x64

[marcus1060]

Ok I download the x64 install CD, yeah the one with only one. Now the problem is when installing it couldn't detect my nic. And because of this it download the extra software.

And now I can't install the drivers because I'm missing software. The stuff that compiles the drivers or whatever. I can't tell you its called because I have to be in Windows right now and I forgot to write its name down.

 

So what am I supposed to do?

Here is the readme that comes with the driver. It doesn't work for me when I get to the make install part.

 

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. Install the module:

    insmod e1000 <parameter>=<value>

What errors do you get whan running make? We need that information.

 

I guess you need to install the kernel devel sources and compiling libraries. Check if they are on your CD. If not, you will need to download the rest of the CDs.
