Rod:

We just purchased a poweredge 1850 and encountered the conflict with the card. we did get the card and the system working. however, the solution was to disable the onboard nics and use a 3com server nic we had in the office. also, we were not able to use red hat enterprise because of the onboard nics. we are not to pleased with the solution as we wanted to use both PCI slots for the te410. however, one is better than none.

hope this helps.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] ee1000 Ethernet in Dell 1850
Date: Tue, 21 Jun 2005 08:14:34 +1000

Digium's site now lists the Dell 1850 as a potential problem server, as it uses the intel ee1000 Ethernet chipset (as do a majority of servers in the market!).

To my knowledge, ALL dell servers with Gigabit interfaces now use the same chipset. Does this mean the Digium cards can't be used in Dell servers unless you disable the onboard ethernet?

I don't want to disable the onboard interface, as I use the IPMI management facility for lights-out management. I have a 2850 that doesn't have any audio problems (the reason that I contacted Digium in the first place), so I'm wondering if Digium are simply guessing at problems.

Does anyone know anything specific about the supposed incompatibilities with the ee1000 kernel module?

There seems to be an ever-growing list of situations where you can't use the Digium cards. This is a concern to me.
