This is normal when using new device. The driver will not update the bradning strings in pci.ids unless it is installed via rpm. > The interface seemed to be up with the e1000e driver, however, there was no > traffic in/out > that interface. There was a error message in message log like "Unable > to establish link!!!". Looking into the code, it indicated that call > e1000e_phy_has_link_generic() always failed.

I tested with 2.4.21-50 kernel and 82574L device and was not able to reproduce this issue. Link issues are generally caused by interrupt problems. Could you please provide the following information: 1. cat /proc/interrupts (after loading the driver and ifup) 2. dmesg 3. ethtool -t ethX 4. lspci -vvv Also - we usually recommend to check for BIOS updates for your system if possible.
