what does ethtool -i eth13 say? also, can you tell us if you see the Intel AMT bios pre-boot screen come up? we have heard lots of reports of people having interaction problems with AMT, but believe the driver to have solved most of them now. ethtool -i will say but you didn't report your driver version. Would you be willing to try the e1000e driver from sourceforge? version 0.4.1.7 would be the best. you would have to manually remove e1000 and install e1000e in its place, changing modprobe.conf is probably necessary. Another option is to run a more recent kernel, but that is much harder to get set up than just upgrading our driver. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ E1000-devel mailing list E1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/e1000-devel
