5.6 Linux RedHat 7.x 5.6.1 Intel 82540EM LAN Driver Installation This file describes the Linux* Base Driver for the Intel® PRO/1000 Family of Adapters, version 4.1.x. This driver is intended for 2.2.x and 2.4.x kernels; it is known to build properly on 2.2.x kernels through 2.2.20 and on 2.4.x kernels through 2.4.17. Intel focused testing on Intel processorbased systems running kernels 2.4.7 and 2.2.16. This driver includes support for Itanium™-based systems. The Intel PRO/1000 driver is only supported as a loadable module at this time. Intel is not supplying patches against the kernel sourceto allow for static linking of the driver. For questions related to hardware requirements, refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel PRO/1000 adapter. All hardware requirements listed apply to use with Linux. New features include support for the Intel® PRO/1000 MT Desktop Adapter. Update Driver on an Existing System Installation To build a binary RPM* package of this driver, run'rpm -tb '. Replace with thespecific file name of the driver. For the build to work properly, the currently running kernel MUST match the version and configuration of the installed kernel sources. If you have just recompiled the kernel reboot the system now. 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 the archive, where x.x.x is the version number for the driver tar: tar zxf e1000-x.x.x.tar.gz 3. Change to the driver src directory, where x.x.x is the version number for the driver tar: cd e1000-x.x.x/src/ ASUS motherboard user guide 5-13

Intel 82540EM LAN Driver Installation
This file describes the Linux* Base Driver for the Intel® PRO/1000 Family
of Adapters, version 4.1.x. This driver is intended for 2.2.x and 2.4.x
kernels; it is known to build properly on 2.2.x kernels through 2.2.20 and
on 2.4.x kernels through 2.4.17. Intel focused testing on Intel processor-
based systems running kernels 2.4.7 and 2.2.16. This driver includes
support for Itanium™-based systems.
The Intel PRO/1000 driver is only supported as a loadable module at this
time. Intel is not supplying patches against the kernel sourceto allow for
static linking of the driver. For questions related to hardware requirements,
refer to the documentation supplied with your Intel PRO/1000 adapter. All
hardware requirements listed apply to use with Linux.
New features include support for the Intel® PRO/1000 MT Desktop
Adapter.
Update Driver on an Existing System Installation
To build a binary RPM* package of this driver, run’rpm -tb
<filename.tar.gz>’. Replace <filename.tar.gz> with thespecific file name of
the driver.
For the build to work properly, the currently running kernel MUST
match the version and configuration of the installed kernel sources. If
you have just recompiled the kernel reboot the system now.
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 the archive, where x.x.x is the version number for the
driver tar:
tar zxf e1000-x.x.x.tar.gz
3.
Change to the driver src directory, where x.x.x is the version
number for the driver tar:
cd e1000-x.x.x/src/
