Brandon, If the driver is loaded in the system then you already have the right driver. You can check this using the command 'lsmod' to see if the driver is loaded. If it is then you are having some other problem. Please look in /var/log/messages to see if there are any error messages being put out by the system.
When you say "can't get connected" what exactly do you mean? What is the output from the following commands: lspci -vv ifconfig ethtool -i <ethx> (Where ethx is the interface number you are working with in your system.) ethtool <ethx> Cheers, John > -----Original Message----- > From: Brandon Taylor [mailto:btaylordes...@gmail.com] > Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2010 7:06 PM > To: e1000-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > Subject: [E1000-devel] Linux driver for Dell OptiPlex GX270? > > Hello, > > I need help locating a Linux (Ubuntu 10.10) driver that is compatible > with the stock NIC for the Dell OptiPlex GX270.
