Detailed Description

What's new

  • Fix build on newer kernels (4.19+)
  • Backport to upstream: e1f65b0d70(e1000e: allow non-monotonic SYSTIM readings)
  • Initial support for the following devices:

Ethernet Connection (11) I219-LM

Ethernet Connection (11) I219-V

Ethernet Connection (12) I219-LM

Ethernet Connection (12) I219-V

  • Added support for PCIm function state:
    Due to commit: 5d8682588605 ("[misc] mei: me: allow runtime
    pm for platform with D0i3")

When disconnecting the cable and reconnecting it, the NIC enters DMoff state. This caused wrong link indication and duplex mismatch. This bug is decribed in: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1689436
Checking PCIm function state and performing PHY reset in watchdog task solves this issue.

Purpose

This driver includes support for the Intel® Itanium® 2-based and the Intel® EM64T system. This release supports the latest 2.4 series kernel as well as 2.6.x and 3.x versions.

e1000e.x.x.x.tar.gz is designed to work with the Intel® 82563/82566/82567 Gigabit Ethernet PHY, Intel® 82571/82572/82573/82574/82577/82578/82579/82583 Gigabit Ethernet Controller, and I217/I218 controllers under Linux*. The latest version and earlier versions of this driver are available from SourceForge*.

If your adapter/connection is not 82563, 82566, 82567, 82571, 82572, 82573, 82574, 82577, 82578, 82579, or 82583-based, you should use one of the following drivers:

  • igb-x.x.x.tar.gz driver supports all Intel® 82575, 82576, 82580, I350, I210, or I211-based Gigabit Network Adapters/Connections
