Does anyone know of a "PCIe X4" (please note the "e") NIC that works
out-of-the-box with Debian Etch? When I say out-of-the-box I mean no kernel
recompiles, no installing of additional third-party drivers.
I really only need a 10/100BT card but I'm guessing no one makes such a slow
card with a PCIe interface, so a 10/100/1000 will do if that's all that's
available.
I'm trying to add a third NIC into a Dell PowerEdge 1850. I've already done
this to some other 1850s, but they had normal PCI slots. This one has a
shorter slot marked "PCIe X4" (seems to be attached to the RAID circuitry
which the others didn't have) and it looks the same length as the X4 slots I
see depicted on the 'web.
If there's no PCI-E X4 cards that work out-of-the-box but someone/anyone has
managed to get one working by installing other kernels/drivers I'd like to
hear about it.
Thanks,
JW
