<p>Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason: /* Hints */ add info on how one goes about setting the e1000 to 100Mb/s mode</p> <hr /> <div>==Intel PRO/100, PRO/1000 Drivers==<br /> {{Stub}}<br /> <br /> Intel e100 and e1000 drivers are on the mainline Linux kernel tree for a long time now. You should use the drivers that come with the kernel, unless you experience problems. Often a newer driver is available from the e1000 project site on sourceforge earlier than that it is merged in the kernel.<br /> <br /> Intel(R) PRO/10/100/1000/10GbE Drivers<br /> * The drivers home page - http://e1000.sf.net/<br /> <br /> === Issues ===<br /> * [[Problem with e1000: EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid|EEPROM Checksum Is Not Valid problem]]<br /> * [[Problem with e1000: 99.9% packet loss on 7.x drivers|99.9% packet loss on 7.x drivers]]<br /> * [[Problem with e1000: Open issue with latency|Long ping times]]<br /> <br /> === Hints ===<br /> * If you have problems, try disabling MSI support in the kernel.<br /> * Don't complain here about a bug that has not been reported to the [http://bugzila.kernel.org kernel bugzilla] or the [http://e1000.sf.net e1000 bug tracker]<br /> * If a gigabit ethernet link won't stay up, try tunning at 100Mbit/s (&lt;code&gt;modprobe e1000 Speed=100&lt;/code&gt;) If it works, the cabling is your main suspect.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Drivers]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> * [http://downloadmirror.intel.com/8861/ENG/e1000.htm#parameters e1000 modprobe parameters], the most recent version is in the README file in the e1000 tarball</div>
