There is no correlation between out-of-tree driver versions and upstream kernel versions. You need to you the latest igb driver (http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/igb%20stable/5.2.17/) .

I've been working with with kernel 3.14.3 and it works fine. What I'm looking for is a version of i210 that would compile against kernel version 3.2.34.I've checked the link you send http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/igb%20stable/3.2.10/ and the latest 3.2.x version that I've found there doesn't support i210 at all. Is there another place to look?If not, is backporting possible?

It will have support for the version of I210 you have and should compile and run on that kernel without any modification of the driver source. > -----Original Message----- > From: Tal Lubko [mailto:tallu...@yahoo.com] > Sent: Monday, April 13, 2015 1:03 PM > To: e1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [E1000-devel] backporting of i210 driver > > Hi > I'm involved in a project that needs i210 support > (E1000_DEV_ID_I210_SERDES_FLASHLESS) for kernel 3.2.34.I would like to > know if it is possible to backport the driver from a new kernel and if it is, > what is the estimated effort for backporting it from a newer kernel for > someone who isn't familiar with this driver.I would also like to get a > recommendation from what kernel to do the backporting.
