We are talking about the igb driver and not e1000, correct? Just want to make sure we are talking about the correct driver. BTW, our very latest drivers can be found at http:/e1000.sf.net which has all of our latest drivers including the igb driver. You might want to try our latest version.

The link doesn't show anything like that. We don't hand out updates to firmware. It's possible that it can be updated via a system BIOS upgrade. Is this system running the very latest system BIOS from HP? > http://virtall.com/files/temp/IMG00066-20110420-0956.jpg > http://virtall.com/files/temp/IMG00067-20110420-0957.jpg > http://virtall.com/files/temp/2011-06-15_16-19-51_252.jpg The all just show the stack, nothing about the driver.

There is no indication that of what the problem could be so we really can't answer this. As stated above it's still very unclear that it's a driver issue. > 07:00.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Gigabit Network > 07:00.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82576 Gigabit Network These indicate that you need to be using the igb driver. If you get us something that shows the driver as part of the issue, we'd be happy to help. However, right now that is not the case.
