-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am trying to get Linux up and running on my new (2009) Mac Pro (the 4,1 model). I currently have Ubuntu Jaunty (Alpha 6) installed, and amy working to get the Gig-E interfaces working. It looks like they should be supported by the e1000e module, but the PCI ID's (8086:10f6) are not recognized. Using ioreg in OS X shows me that both interfaces are recognized as Intel 82574L's, but lspci in Linux just lists them as: 09:00.0: Ethernet Controller: Intel Corporation Device 10f6 0a:00.0: Ethernet Controller: Intel Corporation Device 10f6 I was hoping I could simply add this ID to the e1000e driver, and they would work, but so far, no such luck. Working with the e1000e-0.5.18.3 source package off sf.net, I added a define for the 10F6 ID to hw.h, and a new PCI_VDEVICE line with the define, and board_ich10lan to netdev.c. It compiled fine, but on loading I get: The NVM Checksum Is Not Valid. Rebooting to OS X, the interfaces still work fine. The output from dmesg is:
